西雅圖公共圖書館 The Seattle Public Library

「公共免費的圖書館是民主的搖籃,因為這是一個文字與理念構成的平等國度,在這出身、地位、財富都沒有任何重要性。」~鋼鐵大王卡內基 (Andrew Carnegie)[1]

“There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the free public library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration.” ~Andrew Carnegie ,Philanthropist & library supporter. [2]

․在這一期的天下雜誌閱讀到楊佳儒所寫的「Rem Koolhaas圖書館-西雅圖市民最愛的客廳」,關於西雅圖公共圖書館The Seattle Public Library的介紹很多,但我對於作者於文章中說明鋼鐵大王卡內基 (Andrew Carnegie)說過的這段話被引用在這座圖書館的牆上,印象深刻。

․「鋼鐵大王」卡內基(Andrew Carnegie, 1835-1919)從 1901 年開始,大量捐錢建造圖書館,他在 15 年之內,捐了五億美金,建了 2,811 間圖書館。卡內基說:「為社區興建圖書館,就像為一個沙漠引進一條不竭的溪流」。[3]

․我沒去過這間圖書館,只能從以下這段影片的報導,一窺其迷人的樣貌。
