Bibliotheque Schoelcher Description
The Bibliothèque Schoelcher was moved to its present location in 1893 from Tuileries, near the Arc de Triomphe du Carousel in France. The building is named for Victor Schoelcher who was active in the abolition of slavery in the French colonies. He donated over 10,000 books to Martinique and requested a public library be established. The library now contains more than 200,000 books.

The edifice was designed by French architect Henri Picq in a baroque style.
