Carnegie Libraries

ational Library Week, April 13-19, is a great time to tell the story of how the public library got started more than a century ago. Public education had brought reading within the grasp of most American citizen by 1900, but not everyone hungry to read could buy their own books.

The “free library” movement soon received a huge boost when industrial magnate Andrew Carnegie took up the cause. Carnegie’s formal education had ended at age 11 when his family left Scotland for America, so he had improved himself via the private libraries shared with him by others.

Carnegie went on to amass a fortune from his Carnegie Steel Company and used this to fund 2,500 public libraries in 10 different countries 1883-1919. The first Carnegie Library was built in his hometown of Dunfermline, Scotland. Nearly 1,700 Carnegie libraries were constructed in the U.S. When the Carnegie Steel Company was sold to the United States Steel Corporation for $480 million in 1901, Carnegie received half of the sales proceeds and used his enormous wealth for many charitable projects. The best remembered are the Carnegie libraries.

The Carnegie Library Program coincided with the rise of women’s clubs, whose efforts also established public libraries. Women’s clubs began spearheading lending libraries and reading rooms especially as an antidote to the dreaded saloon. A public library loaned patrons books free of charge, but also provided a quiet sanctuary where people could retreat from a noisy boarding house or a crowded worker’s cottage. Recalling his own youth, Carnegie knew that public libraries could give “working boys” the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and improve themselves, as he had as a lad.

Carnegie considered a library

“the best possible gift for a community,” but the town must help support the facility once it was built.

The Carnegie Library Program required a financial commitment: at the minimum a town-owned building site and ongoing annual operating expenses (typically 10 percent of the library’s construction cost).

After the town submitted its application, often prepared by the local women’s club, Carnegie’s secretary-assistant James Bertram made the final decision based upon the town’s need and its readiness for a Carnegie-funded library. The average library grant was $10,000, disbursed gradually as construction proceeded. Each town chose its own architectural design, either commissioning a local architect or selecting design plans provided by Bertram. Bertram also authored a Library Guide to direct towns toward choosing a design that combined functionality with “good taste in building.”

Carnegie libraries became architectural gems, designed in distinctive architectural styles of the time. Each had “Carnegie Library” prominently carved above the front entrance. Neoclassical Revival was tremendously popular in the first decade of the 1900s, sporting stately columns and a picturesque pediment, so the library resembled a miniature Greek temple. Most libraries were single story on a raised foundation with a basement to hold meeting rooms, restrooms and the furnace. The dignified civic building often was situated in or facing a park, and it featured a stone or brick exterior with tasteful embellishment.

Above all, the Carnegie Library provided free service to all. The simple and formal architecture welcomed patrons. The interior featured “modern” library elements such as open stack shelving that allowed patrons to browse and discover books on their own.

A dedicated children’s section was also considered innovative. The

Denver’s Carnegie Library, built in 1910 for a cost of $360,000, possessed the massing and features of a Greek temple. It stands at 144 W. Colfax Ave. near Civic Center Park. Restored and reopened in October 2013 as the McNichols Civic Center, the classic building hosts art shows, cultural events and administrative offices for Denver Arts & Venues.

child’s first library card opened a broad world within the Carnegie Library: story hour, special programs and sweltering summer days browsing the books on their tidy shelves.

In most libraries hung a poratrait of Andrew Carnegie himself, enchanting schoolchildren who thought the white-whiskered gentleman might be Santa Claus.

About 35 Carnegie libraries were built in Colorado 1903-1919; around 30 still remain standing and most still function as libraries or research centers. A number of them are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

The first wave of library construction, 1903-09, produced a dozen Carnegie libraries in various Colorado towns. The Cañon City library was fruit of the town’s library association founded in 1886. Built from locally quarried sandstone, it opened its doors in 1903. Enlarged by a tasteful rear addition, it still operates as the city’s library.

Manitou Springs’ Carnegie Library is a beautiful example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with its pale-brick exterior, round-arched windows and red clay tile roof. It sits at the center of a park facing the town’s main thoroughfare, Manitou Avenue.

The following year, 1904, six Carnegie libraries opened their doors in Colorado towns. The Boulder library, patterned after an ancient Greek temple, has served as a research center for Boulder County history since 1981. The Fort Collins library in Library Park originally housed 4,000 books; it now contains the city’s art center.

In Leadville, the two-story redbrick library has been the home of the Leadville Heritage Museum since 1971. Idaho Springs’ stately buffbrick library with its pediment entry still serves as the town’s library.

The Colorado City library facing Prospect Park still functions as the neighborhood library with a thriving genealogy center in basement.

Trinidad’s library is also in its original use expanded by a history room addition in 1995.

In 1905, the Colorado Springs Carnegie Library opened, built upon land donated by city founder Gen. William Jackson Palmer. It now serves as an archival and research center for local and regional history; it is attached to the muchlarger modern Penrose Public Library constructed in 1968.

Two Carnegie libraries opened in 1906. The redbrick Silverton library still operates as such. Durango’s library, a proud stone structure of Neo-Classical design, today houses city offices.

In 1910, two more Carnegie libraries were completed. The Rocky Ford library became the Rocky Ford Historical Museum documenting life in the Arkansas Valley. Salida’s Greek-Revival style library, erected with the aid of the Tuesday Night Ladies Club, was designed by notable Colorado Springs architects Charles Thomas and Thomas McLaren. It still func-

tions as a library.

The Denver Public Library system built several Carnegie libraries, starting with the Main Branch in 1910 on West Colfax Avenue facing Civic Center Park. Vacated in the 1930s when a larger library was erected on the other side of the park, it is now known as the McNichols Civic Center Building and contains offices.

Several Denver Branch libraries were constructed 1913-1918 thanks to Carnegie grants. Those still used as libraries include Woodbury Branch at 3265 Federal Blvd., Decker Branch at 1501 S. Logan St., Byers Branch at 675 Santa Fe Drive and Smiley Branch at 4501 W. 46th Ave. In the 1910s, about one Carnegie Library a year opened around the state: the Spanish Colonial Revival Manitou Springs library with its red-tiled roof; the Longmont library since converted into city offices; the Fort Morgan library, now surrounded by an addition but still used as a library; the Littleton library, which was outgrown in 1962 and has housed a popular fondue restaurant for 20 years; the Sterling library, since converted into a private residence; and the Florence library that still fulfills its original purpose.

Not every community welcomed a Carnegie Library, however. Several mining towns did not look kindly on the Carnegie Steel Company, due to its hostility treatment of labor unions. Victor and Cripple Creek were among the Colorado towns that spurned the Carnegie Library program and funded their public library themselves.
