There has been over 3,000 books written on George Washington.
No one reads blank books because there is nothing to read. Jefferson was a avid reader and gave over 6,000 books to start the Library of Congress.
It isn't part of any branch. It was established by an act of congress in 1800 when president John Adams signed a bill providing for the transfer of the seat of government from Philadelphia to the new capital of Washington. The legislation described a reference library for congress only, containing "such books as may be necessary for the use of congress and for putting up suitable apartment for containing therein". Established with 5,000 appropriated by legislation the original library was in the new capital until 1814, when the invading British set fire to the capital and burned the small library. A month later Jefferson donated his library of 6,000 books as a replacement. His library was considered one of the finest in the United States. In January 1815 congress accepted his offer and gave him 23,950 for 6,487 books and the foundation for a national library was created.

Burned them.
Many books in Germany were burned in huge bonfires that consisted only of books. No wood. This happened because the Nazis thought that some books in Germany were against the Nazis and Hitler as well. So, they banned some books that were of "Lighter" criticisms, and burned those that were considered too against the Nazis ways and beliefs.
You may be thinking that Hitler & the Nazis burned books. Yes some books that the Nazis did not like were burned, however this was done for publicity. Actually book burnings were not a major feature of Nazi German life. The Germans valued books & education in general, and would have burned anti-Nazi books & books written by Jews.
It is unlikely that his books were burned, because Adolf Hitler & the Nazis were believers in Darwin's theories, especially as they applied to humans & society.
Bonfires of the Vanities refers to burning objects that are deemed to be sinful. Bonfires of the Vanities took place in Florence, Italy, on February 7, 1497. Supporters of Dominican priest Girolamo Savonarola, collected and publicly burned thousands of objects, such as cosmetics, art, and books. Things that might tempt one to sin, such as mirrors, fine dresses, and playing cards were often burned.

The Nazi's burned the books to show the hatred to the Jews 20,000 books were burned many by Jews and others like si-fi they didint like imagination also albert ensteins works were burnt because he was a Jew. "Where they burn books, at the end they also burn people" 1823 Heinrich Heine shows how right that is about the Nazis

It wasn't just books written by Jews that were burned. Any book that contradicted or ran contrary to the Nazi ideals were burned or banned because they were considered dangerous. For example: Ernest Hemmingway's A Farewell to Arms because it didn't glorify war in any way; Jack London's books were burned (he was a socialist); 1929 Nobel Literature winner Thomas Mann's books were also burned. Mann was a German born author. His parents were Christian, but Mann objected to Hitler and the Nazis.
