Familiar landmarks in hundreds of American towns, Carnegie libraries have shaped the public library experience of generations of Americans and today seem far from controversial. In Free to all, however, Abigail Van Slyck shows that the classical façades and symmetrical plans of these buildings often mask the complex and contentious circumstances of their construction and use.
