Pittsburgh is libraries

Carnegie sucked all the marrow out of Pittsburgh steelworkers, working them literally to death, then turned around and gave them free libraries.  


Equal trade-off?  


Eh, probably not.  


But they are nice libraries…


I know that my summary of Carnegie's involvement in the development of Pittsburgh is simplistic, but now that I've got my library card, I can read more about it.


(FYI, yes the sky is really that blue today.  In October.  I promise eventually I'll stop posting about the weather.  Soon as winter comes.)
