Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh: A Bit of History With Some Pictures I think that Pittsburgh requires a Central Building, containing a Reference and Circulating Library, also, suitable accommodations for works of art, which I believe its citizens would soon provide; that there should also be added rooms for the meetings of the various learned societies of the city. The experience of New York, Baltimore, and other large cities has proved that a Central Library should be supple mented by branch Libraries. The Free Circulating Library of New York has now four of these; the city of Baltimore has five; they are not extensive structures, but each contains a small supply of the books most in demand, and a reading room, and is Operated in connection with the Central Library. Such branches, I think, should be established in the various districts Of the city, probably one in Birmingham, another in Temperanceville, another in East Liberty, a fourth in Lawrenceville, perhaps a fifth in the older part of the city. All of these should be thoroughly fire-proof, monumental in character and creditable to' the city. To provide these buildings with suitable appliances I offer to ex pend not less than one million dollars. I propose that their location, erection and management shall be entrusted to a Board of Trustees, composed, ex-officio of the Mayor, the Presidents of Select and Com mon Councils, the President of the Central Board of Education, and a Library Committee of five appointed by the Councils, such as you have done me the honor to appoint to confer with me; to these I should add the names of twelve well-known citizens of Allegheny County, who should have power as a body to provide for the re-election of its mem bers at stated times, and also, to fill vacancies in their number. The Libraries to be formally handed over to the city upon their completion, free from lien, in trust, for the purposes specified. The city to agree to receive and support same at its own proper cost, under the management of the Trustees as above provided.

This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Order of Exercises and Addresses at the Dedication of the Carnegie Library of Beloit College: Beloit, Wisconsin, January 5, 1905 The report of the Library Construction Committee can be made very brief as several causes have conspired to lighten the task usually falling to such a Committee. First and greatest of these, - no long and depressing solicitation of funds. The generous and ample gift of the donor lifted that portion of the burden before its weight could be felt. Again, the fact that this library, being the sixtieth library building planned by your architects, Messrs. Patton & Miller of Chicago, and representing in its completeness of detail and equipment the accumulated experience of the fifty-nine other libraries which have preceded it in their brains, has demanded on our part but little of suggestion and labor since construction began. Previously, however, in evolving the plans for a building adapted to our particular use, I think the architects will give a large measure of credit to President Eaton and Professor Blaisdell who assisted them by suggestions gained from their experience in our library work at home, and by travel far and near, inspecting other library buildings and noting their points of excellence and defects. Another factor in lightening our task was that the work of construction fell to our old and tried contractors, Messrs. Schneiberg Bros, & Stevens, whose numerous lesser achievements have for the decade past adorned our campus.

Book excerpt: Between 1910 and 1922, seventeen Montana communities built libraries with money given to them by the era's richest man, Andrew Carnegie. Fifteen of those libraries stand today, and their story is compellingly told here by architectural historian Kate Hampton.
