The Library

"Knowing I loved my books, he furnished me, from mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom." The Tempest (I, ii)
The library is a warm and welcoming refuge to club members. Overlooking the park, the library houses one of the finest collections in the country of nineteenth century theatrical literature and reference materials.
Here, members can relax and read a book or the latest periodicals. It is also the place where lectures, readings and other club events are often held. Lined with portraits of leading actors and actresses from the nineteenth century, the library also contains tabletop photomontages composed of carte-de-visite immortalizing famed actresses from the turn of the century.
