That All May Read: The Fredericksburg Subregional Library for the Blind

Abstract

I n the basement of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library headquarters in Fredericksburg, there is a minilibrary for very special patrons. This small but essential collection is tucked away in a corner of the lower level of the public library building. Occasionally someone who is looking for the law library or the Virginiana room wanders through the door expecting to see shelves of regular books. When they look up, their mouths usually drop open as they take in hundreds of shelves stacked high with thousands of blue boxes.
