The Library of Congress's book and serial collections represent more than 460 languages, with approximately half of those collections in languages other than English.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by the Library of Congress's own official statements, with minor numerical variation (460 vs 470 languages) across sources likely due to updates over time. Core claim about half the collection being non-English is well corroborated. [tier=gold indep_score=0.983 clusters=3 claim_tier=notable]
