Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Public Library of St Louis from its 1865 beginnings as a small collection of donated books to the opening of a new library in 1893. It traces the impact of key figures on the library's evolution, including its first director, Frederick M. Crunden, who shaped its early development, and William T. Harris, whose ideas on education and libraries influenced its growth. The book also explores the library's role in the cultural and intellectual life of St. Louis, as it became a center for learning, research, and community engagement. By examining the history of this institution, the book sheds light on the broader development of public libraries in the United States during the late 19th century, a time of rapid urbanization and social change.
