Public Property of American Society-The Historical Meaning of Carnegie Libraries

摘要


卡內基在19世紀末到20世紀初,捐贈美國數量龐大的公共圖書館,對美國社會與文化造成非常深遠的影響。本文探討卡內基在事業有成之後所從事的眾多慈善項目中,為何熱衷於捐贈公共圖書館的建設,與對圖書館事業的關心與支持,分析其動機和社會因素。卡內基獨創的捐贈圖書館模式,對當時的美國政府、社會和民眾產生許多觀念上的改變,值得深入研究探討;後來成立的卡內基基金會亦持續關注美國圖書館事業,進行多次的研究調查,皆對後來的圖書館營運產生變革,影響美國公共圖書館的發展。卡內基捐贈公共圖書館,可謂是圖書館發展史上,史無前例且影響深遠的事件,這些數量龐大的卡內基圖書館,是美國社會的寶貴公共文化資產。
