Carnegie Library
Carnegie Library building in Atlantic City, NJ USA. Built by the city in 1903 with a matching grant from Andrew Carnegie, a much celebrated Capitalistic gangster of the Gilded Age. It was operated as the Atlantic City Free Public Library until 1985 when the city opened a new, larger facility. For some years recently it was used as part of Stockton College but has now been returned to the city of Atlantic City.
I did some research in here during the 1970s when I was in college. I wrote a paper on the differences between news coverage reported by The Atlantic City press newspaper and the Camden Courier Post. I came across one story where an enterprising reporter interviewed a street prostitute about a Lions convention in town. He quoted her: "Those Lions are real tigers." Ironically, I was being stalked by a street prostitute on the Saturday afternoon I took this picture. A security guard at the building pointed her out to me and told me what she was about!
