Evansville has two Carnegie libraries that are in park settings, and they are virtually identical. Both libraries were formally dedicated and opened to the public on January 1, 1913. This is either East Branch at 840 E. Chandler Ave. or West Branch at 2000 W. Franklin St. As a side note, the former Cherry Branch Library at 515 Cherry St., built in 1914, was also a Carnegie library, but it was not in a park setting and did not look exactly like this. Cherry Branch was the first branch library exclusively for African Americans north of the Ohio River; that building no longer exists. According to Wikipedia, "A Carnegie library is a library built with money donated by Scottish businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. A total of 2,509 Carnegie libraries were built between 1883 and 1929, including some belonging to public and university library systems. 1,689 were built in the United States, 660 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, 125 in Canada, and others in Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Serbia, Belgium, France, the Caribbean, Mauritius, Malaysia and Fiji. At first, Carnegie libraries were almost exclusively in places where he had a personal connection - namely his birthplace in Scotland and the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, his adopted home-town. Yet, beginning in the middle of 1899, Carnegie substantially increased funding to libraries outside of these areas. In later years few towns that requested a grant and agreed to his terms were refused. By the time the last grant was made in 1919, there were 3,500 libraries in the United States, nearly half of them built with construction grants paid by Carnegie." Most Carnegie libraries are immediately recognizable as such. This appears to be a postcard.
