Synopsis

Originally published in 1917 A BOOK OF CARNEGIE LIBRARIES by THEODORE WESLEY KOCH. Text extracted from opening pages of book: PREFACE: FOR the delay that has made this volume so far behind the plates which it was designed to accompany I make no apology.

Plates and text together may have at least an histori cal value, and the library building development of the last dec ade might well be made the subject of a supplementary volume. The list of plates printed to accompany the original portfolio is bound with the present volume, as it contains in handy form for reference the names of architects and in some cases the amount of Carnegie donations.
