As many of the great branch library buildings are from the Carnegie
legacy, why not try and continue that theme? Who are today's Carnegies?
Awhile back I advocated for sports stars to sponsor neighborhood houses
of the like when I grew up (Magaret Barry et al.). Why not library branches
instead or in addition?
I mean K.G. makes an annual salary equal to the library budget. I think
he might be able to support one facility. Maybe he's got a few competiteve
buddies.
Yes the libraries have evolved from patronage and of course they won't
go back under it; I'm just thinking that some of the ridiculoulsy rich might
want to leave a significant heritage.A beatufil building embracing a hundred
year old thought.
Anyone here got a superstars ear?

I sold Carl Eller some golf clubs in '63, that's as good as I got.
