Rather than a view of a finished building, this item is a floor plan for the Carnegie library in St. J, a working drawing that shows how the rooms were arranged before construction began. Andrew Carnegie funded more than 2,500 libraries across the United States and abroad between the 1880s and the 1910s, usually on the condition that the town provide the site and pay for upkeep. Plans like this one reveal how reading rooms, book stacks and staff desks were positioned to serve the public, and they show how these buildings were meant to work as community spaces.
