Officers provided law enforcement and security services for Library
of Congress facilities. On October 1, 2009, the agency ceased
operations and its personnel, duties, responsibilities, and functions
were transferred to the U.S. Capitol Police.
Notice only one liberal chimed in so far......and her post was as disingenuous as it gets. Messianic Cult Of Barack Worship won't allow disparaging the government led by the half-black guy......even of they find the arming of more government workers troublesome. This is why liberals and liberalism are the scum of the earth.
Your hatred for Obama blinds you to the fact that the linked story is based on the situation in 2008 before Obama was President.
They are armed personnel doing law enforcement. Nowhere did it say they were security guards in buildings.
They have firearm and arrest authority..much more than a "security guard".
The Government Printing Office, for example, has 5 Inspector Generals watching over 41 employees who are armed and can arrest people and perform LE duty.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has more armed personnel who can carry guns and arrest people than the EPA.
You need to read down into the report. See Appendix 4.
Officers provide law enforcement and security services for
facilities where information, products, and services for the federal
government are produced and distributed.
And that is what I posted..41 armed personnel who can arrest people.
DHS does building security through FPS for all Federal buildings.
FPS are also LE officers but they are under DHS and their mission is to protect Federal buildings.

I admit I only quickly read the link, but where did it say that FPS provides security for "all Federal buildings?" Just because they provide security for over 9000 buildings doesn't mean that they are providing security for "all" Federal buildings. The DOJ report, linked from the article in the OP, clearly indicates that some of the armed personnel are providing security.

How's about their "mission statement" ?
From my link:
The FPS mission is to render federal properties safe and secure for federal employees, officials and visitors in a professional and cost effective manner by deploying a highly trained and multi-disciplined police force. As the federal agency charged with protecting and delivering integrated law enforcement and security services to facilities owned or leased by the General Services Administration (GSA), FPS employs 1,225 federal staff (including 900 law enforcement security officers, criminal investigators, police officers, and support personnel) and 15,000 contract guard staff to secure over 9,000 buildings and safeguard their occupants

It never claims to be the only organization providing security services.
Here is the mission statement of the U.S. Capital Police. The merger of Library of Congress Police into the USCP was completed in 2009.
