Welcome to the Library of Congress, where your family can embark on a journey of discovery and engagement! Inspired by our vast collections, programs, and expertise, we invite you to explore the wide range of activities we offer. For the little ones, join renowned author and illustrator Dav Pilkey as he shares drawing tips and reads aloud from his work in engaging videos produced in collaboration with Scholastic. The seventh National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, Jason Reynolds, will ignite your child's passion for storytelling through newsletters and videos.

Dive into the world of books and writing with the best of the National Book Festival, while our activity kits foster creativity using simple household items and resources from our website. Older children can explore their artistic talents by becoming their own comic creators or by designing and building their own lighthouse. They can also delve into the intriguing world of geographic information systems or practice the art of preserving family stories.

For everyone, let the vibrant colors of Japanese woodblock prints inspire your inner artist. Immerse yourself in the historic Thomas Jefferson Building with coloring pages, and discover the intricate designs of the Minerva Mosaic. You can also explore the visually captivating WPA posters or have fun with braille games.

Join us at the Library of Congress and tap into the wealth of knowledge, creativity, and joy waiting for you and your family
