I, too, love those cute little, and sometimes not-so-little, Carnegie
Libraries. I bought this book: "Carnegie Libraries Across America, A
Public Legacy" by Theodore Jones, published by John Wiley in 1997. It
gives a good history and includes the Audubon-type life list, should you
choose to visit them, state-by-state, and current status. I've restored
a gem here in Michigan, the Howell Carnegie Library, designed by Elijah
Meyer, same architect as our state capital. There are many here worth
visiting, should you be so inclined, so stop by...
