Title:
I Choose Free Libraries
Date:
1935
Description:
Poster for the Cernegie Centenary including an Andrew Carnegie quote with an image of a public library emitting rays.
Text on the poster reads: Carnegie Centenary, November 25, 1935. I choose free libraries as the best agencies for improving the masses of the people, because they give nothing for nothing. They only help those who help themselves. They never pauperize. They reach the aspiring, and open to those chief treasures of the world - those stored up in books. A taste for reading drives out lower tastes... I prefer the free public library to most if not any other agencies for the happiness and improvement of a community. Andrew Carnegie.
