Center, located at 801 Mount Vernon Place NW in Washington, DC. 

The Washington Convention Center is located at the "Mount Vernon Square

Room 141 is on street level near the corner of 7th and L Streets.  

In 2005 the Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies
(ASCLA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA), published
the Revised Standards and Guidelines of Service for the Library of
Congress Network of Libraries for the Blind and Physically Handicapped
(LC/NLS): 2005.  The current process of reviewing and revising the
standards will conclude in mid 2011.  Another public open forum is being
planned for January 2011 in San Diego.  Details will follow.
