#NewBedford Public #Library Director Olivia Melo reports that a copy of "An Elementary Treatise on Electricity" by James Clerk Maxwell, returned 119 years after it was taken out by a borrower, is in extremely good condition. No fine was paid, though he ran the numbers and calculates that $2,100 would be owed were it not for the posted maximum of just $2, less than it cost to mail it back.

From there he went to New Bedford, Massachusetts, which had a large, free black population. Massachusetts had ended slavery in 1783:

Nestled along the banks of the #AcushnetRiver at the confluence of #BuzzardsBay sits the port town of #NewBedford #Massachusetts. This is where you will find #ClarksPointlighthouse sitting atop #FortTaber.
