crl-12164	Stevens, Norman D.	Carnegie Libraries; Their History and Impact on American Public Library (Book Review)	1969	1	.pdf	application/pdf	730	31	57	In this adaptation of his doctoral disser- tation Mr. Bobinski treats in factual detail the history of Carnegie public library phi- lanthropy in the United States. Primarily in the period between 1902 and 1908 some $4,283,048 was given toward the construc- tion of 108 academic libraries; and, while Bobinski stresses the fact that grants were not made to public libraries for collections, 311 academic libraries, mainly in the 1930s, did receive grants totaling $2,592,800 for library development which, in general, meant the purchase of books.	cache/crl-12164.pdf	txt/crl-12164.txt
