Frederick Douglass Library

Two large bookshelves line a wall of a medium sized room. The shelves are packed with hundreds of books. A small wood desk sits in front of the book shelf. A photo of an older Frederick Douglass hangs on the wall.

Frederick Douglass's library is a special place. Lit by three large windows, books on almost every imaginable subjects fill the many bookcases. Off to the side, a black iron stove promises cozy warmth on cold days. In the center of the room, a heavy wooden desk sits awaiting the author's next great sentence. Douglass was a true man of letters, and his ideas seem to fill the room. It is a place where, if you close your eyes and reach out your hands, it seems almost possible to touch the mind of Frederick Douglass.
