Due to security concerns on Capitol Hill, mail delivery from the United States Postal Service is experiencing significant delays and although it is highly recommended that applicants apply online, if you choose to submit a hard-copy application, we recommend that you send it via Fed-Ex or United Parcel Service (UPS) and that you allow at least 72 hours for delivery, even for overnight packages. You also have the option of hand delivery of your application, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., to the Library of Congress Employment Office (Madison Building).
