  • White Awards Over $18 Million in Public Library Per Capita and Equalization Aid Grants
    For Immediate Release: August 20, 2021 White Awards Over $18 Million in Public Library Per Capita and Equalization Aid Grants Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White has awarded FY21 Illinois Public Library Per Capita and Equalization Aid Grants totaling $18.1 million to 638 public libraries serving almost 12 million patrons. “Public Act 102-0039 allowed my office to award these grants at $1.475 per capita, an increase from the previous rate of $1.25,” White said. “I am extremely proud of the outstanding service Illinois’ public libraries provide to all residents. I truly believe libraries are cornerstones of our communities, and I am pleased to provide this increased funding to help them serve the public.” Some of the valuable services public libraries provide with grant money include the following: • Large print material for aging patrons • Books, magazines, newspapers, CDs and DVDs • Audiobooks and eBooks • Home visit book delivery service • New computers, iPads and printers • Spanish and dual language materials • Expanded access to online resources • Adult programming • Newsletters, postcards and other promotional materials Per Capita Grant funding is authorized under Illinois library law for public libraries, which allows resources for expenses such as materials, personnel, equipment, electronic access, telecommunications and technology. Equalization Aid Grants help qualifying public libraries with a low library tax base ensure a minimum level of funding for library services. Information concerning the grant programs can

To Honor Our Past: Historical Research, Library History and the Historiographical Imperative: Conceptual Reflections and Exploratory Observations Jean-Pierre V. M. Hérubel HSSE, University Libraries, Purdue University Abstract: This exploratory discussion considers history of libraries, in its broadest context; moreover, it frames the entire enterprise of pursuing history as it relates to LIS in the context of doing history and of doing history vis-à-vis LIS. Is it valuable intellectually for LIS professionals to consider their own history, writing historically oriented research, and what is the nature of this research within the professionalization of LIS itself as both practice and discipline? Necessarily conceptual and offering theoretical insight, this discussion perforce tenders the idea that historiographical innovations and other disciplinary approaches and perspectives can invigorate library history beyond its current condition.

  • Carnegie Institute: History, Architecture, Collections
    FRICK FINE ARTS LIBRARY The Carnegie Institute: History, Architecture, Collections Library Guide Series, No. 40 “Qui scit ubi scientia sit, ille est proximus habenti.” -- Brunetiere* An Introduction Andrew Carnegie, the founder of The Carnegie Institute, was an American industrialist who worked in the fields of the railroad, oil and became a baron of the iron and steel industries. During his lifetime he donated more than $350 million to a variety of social, educational and cultural causes, the best known of which was his support of the free public library movement. He gave grants for 3,000 library buildings in the English- speaking world between the late 1890s and 1917. The first Carnegie Library opened in 1889 and was built in Braddock, PA near the location of his largest steel mill. The second library opened in Allegheny City during 1890. Carnegie’s most ambitious cultural creation, however, was the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh which included a library, natural history museum, art gallery, and concert hall that were designed by Alden and Harlow between 1891-1907. Few people outside of Pittsburgh know that Andrew Carnegie was also involved in the art world of his day, creating the Art Gallery portion of the Carnegie Institute that is now known as the Carnegie Museum of Art and also beginning what has become one of the oldest international art exhibitions in the world – the Carnegie International in 1896. A little more than a century later the Carnegie Museum of Art had grown to include The Andy Warhol Museum of Art and the Heinz Architectural Center.
