Nebraska and Carnegie Libraries
by Marguerite Nesbit. 1930.
Typed manuscript. Nesbit tells a
colorful, personalized story of the history of Nebraska and the development
of its libraries from the creation of the State Library in 1854 to 1929.
Libraries built in Nebraska with Carnegie grants between 1901 and 1922 are
featured along with a biography of Andrew Carnegie, the great library benefactor.
The foreword includes a list of tax-supported non-Carnegie libraries.
A chart showing organization and building dates for 68 of the 69 Carnegie
libraries and a
bibliography of Nesbit ' s sources are appended. The manuscript is
accompanied by a
collection of library photographs, most of which are of Carnegie libraries.
