This law covers money Congress set aside to grow the Library's general collection. That includes any leftover balance plus future amounts for the same purpose. This money must be spent as the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library directs.

This section covers money for growing the Library of Congress's general library collection. It covers two sources: any unspent balance left over from earlier sums Congress appropriated for that purpose, plus any additional sums Congress appropriates for it later. All of that money must be spent under the direction of the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library.
