Carnegie Libraries Across America: A Public Legacy

by Theodore Jones

Looks like an interesting book!

Here's my list after doing a brief internet search. It's of libraries in the United States of America:

Kirby Library, Easton, PA.
Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA.
The Braddock Carnegie Library, Braddock, PA.
The Rosenbach Museum and Library, Philadelphia, PA.

I hope I could find books (or at least posterity records!) of the history of these places. That would be aweseome!

I find the idea of this group very interesting! I have never thought about the history of a library but I wonder how we could look into and research ones either in our area or maybe famous ones.

I guess usually people never think they can research not just about books in libraries but tap into the founding and creations of the places that house the things we love so much.
