What reading level is Handbook of the New Library of Congress book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The distance between the two buildings is about a quarter of a mile (twelve hundred and seventy-five feet). This is covered by a tunnel having at one end a terminus in the baseinent almost immediately beneath the Distributing Desk, and at the other end in a room in the Capitol about midway between the Senate and House of Representatives.
The tunnel is built of brick, is perfectly dry, and about six feet high and four feet wide, or just large enough for a man to enter and make- any needed repair...s. An endless cable, kept moving by a similar force to that which supplies the appara- tus connecting with the stacks, carries two trays back and forth between the ter- minals, receiving and delivering books by the same arrangement of teeth as has just been described. The trays are much larger, however, than the others, and are capable of containing the largest volumes, such as bound volumes of news- papers. The speed at which the cable runs is about six hundred feet a minute, delivering a book at the Capitol within three minutes after it has left the Library.
