2 U.S.C. § 151 — Smithsonian Library

submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-2-THE-CONGRESS · 59 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This section covers a library once owned by the Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian moved its library, collected under an 1846 law, to the Library of Congress with the Regents' consent. While it stays there, the library follows the Library of Congress's own rules, with a few exceptions.

The Smithsonian Institution built up a library under a law passed on August 10, 1846 (chapter 25). With the consent of the Smithsonian's governing board, the Regents, that library was removed from the Smithsonian's building and deposited at the Library of Congress. This section says that, for as long as the library stays deposited there, it is subject to the same rules that govern the Library of Congress generally — except for whatever exceptions are provided elsewhere in the law ("as hereinafter provided").
