The Libraries of Monticello

from Monticello Podcasts

Jefferson collected some ten thousand books throughout his life, but they were historically divided into three collections at Monticello. These books reflect Jefferson's firm belief that knowledge and education were the keys to human progress. They were also a source of pleasure for Jefferson and, as his granddaughter later explained, his "chosen companions."
