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 2016-06-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graded and Annotated Catalogue of Books in the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, for the Use of the City Schools, 1900 Early in 1899 the National Educational Association issued an important circular on the relation of public libraries and public schools. From this circular we quote the following: There should be most cordial relations between the school and the library. The librarian should know the school and its work, in a general way, as a very important part of his work, just as the teacher should know the library and its methods as a part of her work. The children should have free access to the library shelves. The community should be led to re gard the library as a necessary part of a system of public edu cation, just as essential as the common school. If it is the duty of the state to see that its citizens know how to read, it is certainly none the less its duty to see that they are so train ed that the ability to read will be a blessing rather than a curse. A free public library is the adult's common school. Pupils should know what a library is, what it contains, and how to use it. A child can no more be wisely left to get his knowledge and taste for literature by himself than to get his mathematical or scientific training in the same way. Children must be trained to use the library as they are trained to do other things. Pupils should learn to read with economy of time by making use of page headings, tables of contents. Re views, Poole's Index, card catalogues and other helps. The destiny of a child is not affected by the ability to read. But by the use he makes of that ability. The school trains for a few years. The library for a life time. The ability to read is merely a means to an end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Book of Carnegie Libraries Classic Reprint written by Theodore Wesley Koch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Carnegie Libraries The earlier buildings figuring in the illustrations and de scribed in the present volume show the development of library architecture under the early stimulus of Mr. Carnegie's gifts. In that time there was great progress, and in these later years there has been greater progress. Some features Of these earlier buildings have been developed into greater usefulness and beauty, while others have not had so happy an experience, but have done their part in the evolution of the present library building, as early experiments to be discarded in favor Of better methods. This is the story Of all good development, and the text and illustrations Of the present volume should be studied with careful discrimination as to what should be avoided and what copied or developed. In the past few years the Carnegie Corporation has worked out improved standards, especially for small library buildings, which represent a happy combination of good architecture and practical administration. It is perhaps not out Of place here to emphasize the thought that a Carnegie library, while attractive in exterior, should be fundamentally of sound architecture, answering to practical needs and economy Of maintenance. Today the Carnegie name is associated with good architecture in thousands of places in this country and elsewhere, thus providing a monument more impressive, more useful, and more lasting than can be associated with any other life or name.
