Not working

I literally can’t access ANYTHING on this app. It keeps saying there is an error with the servers…. Worked just fine a few months ago

Library? No. Congress? Probably👎 🫤

Maybe the Worlds largest collection of information on Earth; just doesn’t know the one book that all M.D.s have to study all seven years of their medical education…I find that funny!
Library, no; Congress, Yep.Library, no; Congress, Yep.

Good, but…

There’s SOOOO much fascinating and thought-provoking material here - enough to keep someone occupied for years! The down side? No good way to access what you want to see. The buttons under “Topics” are completely random and unrelated to the labels. Hundreds, maybe thousands of scanned books, and no way to Search for an author or title? Just Browse? Fix that, and you have a winner!

Needs improvement

Impossible to browse by topic. Any category I choose takes me to another category. “American History” takes me to “Geography & Places.” “Geography & Places” takes me to “Sports & Recreation,” and so on. Great idea, but not functional.

Fascinating collection

A truly overwhelming trove of texts, pictures, sounds, and videos. A remarkable resource.
