Sec. 701.9  Loans of library materials.

    The Library of Congress is not a public circulating library and no 
material in its collections may be taken from the Library buildings 
except upon approval by the Chief of the Loan Division. Members of 
Congress, heads of executive departments, and other statutory borrowers, 
however, have the privilege of withdrawing books by virtue of their 
office. Subject to regulations and conditions established by The 
Librarian of Congress, special permission to withdraw materials may be 
given to congressional staff. Applications for such privilege are acted 
upon by the Chief of the Loan Division, who is responsible for the 
interpretation and enforcement of the regulations governing loans. 
Except for Members of Congress, heads of executive departments, and 
others authorized by the Librarian to have materials assembled and 
delivered to them, persons having the borrowing privilege must present 
materials to be borrowed to the Loan Division for recording and for 
issuance of a door pass. Borrowers must present the materials for 
inspection to the guards on duty at the exits to the Library buildings. 
Materials are issued on interlibrary loan to other libraries

within and outside the District of Columbia under regulations 
established by the Librarian of Congress. Applications from established 
libraries for such loans, and requests for information about 
interlibrary loans and loan service, generally, should be directed to 
the Chief of the Loan Division.
