Indispensible resource
|
| I first became interested in the subject of Carnegie Libraries as a result of a History of Libraries course taken to earn my MLS at Indiana University. Since then, I have personally photographed more than 300 of these architectural gems in the states of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Arkansas, and Kansas. This book has been a major resource for my research, particularly the state index of Carnegie sites. In the absence of George Bobinski's groundbreaking study from the late 60's (ALA, why haven't you reprinted that one?), Jones' book is the next best thing. Now based in Wichita, I have the pleasure of working across the street from the city's old Carnegie building. Books like this one help to raise the public's consciousness of the treasures they have in these fine libraries. Save the Carnegies! |
