Description
This book offers a nostalgic, yet informative, visit to the eighty-three Carnegie libraries in Illinois that still serve as libraries and, in most cases, as cummunity cultural centers. Raymond Bial's black-and-white photographs reveal a broad range off architectural styles, as striking now as they were nearly a century ago when the libraries were built. Each image is accompanied by a brief history of the library and a description of how the community obtained grant support for the building. This is a volume in the series Visions of Illinois.
