Talk:Carnegie library

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Smallest Carnegie Library is in Honea Path South Carolina

[edit] Terms?

"Very few towns that requested a grant and agreed to his terms were refused."

• What were his terms? If this line is to be included, Carnegie's terms should be listd. Otherwise, it's a needless line. Ghostalker (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 05:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

The "Fields of Philanthropy" section contains this description: Nearly all of Carnegie's libraries were built according to "The Carnegie Formula" which required the town that received the gift to:

• demonstrate the need for a public library;
• provide the building site; and
• annually provide ten percent of the cost of the library's construction to support its operation.
