The Douglass-Truth Branch was expanded and reopened Oct. 14, 2006. The building follows historic preservation guidelines of the original library, which is a city landmark. The Soul Pole, a 21-foot community artwork depicting 400 years of Black history, proudly greets visitors from the branch’s front lawn.
