Editorial Reviews

"Oehlerts chronicles the evolution of the public library building from 1850 to the present in four chapters on buildings of 1850-1893, 1894-1918, 1919-1945, and 1946-1989, respectively. (Libraries built with funding from Andrew Carnegie and Edward L. Tilton are treated separately.) Oehlerts documents how library construction related to the general history of the U.S. and to the changing needs of libraries, according the most detailed discussion to relatively large libraries, such as New York Public, without slighting smaller-community projects. Appended are an extensive bibliography of architecture and library history and another covering public library buildings geographically by city."-Booklist
