From its earliest days as a private lending library, CALS has developed into a strong advocate of literacy and continuing education as the cornerstones of an informed citizenry. This is the story of how one small library grew into a major regional system, how its libraries evolved to meet the demands of changing technology and a growing population, and how, in many ways, it became a model for the rest of the nation. This book also explores the personalities that have helped shape CALS--from Vera Snook, who began a twenty-two-year career as librarian of the Little Rock Public Library in 1926, to the current director, Dr. Bobby Roberts, who has led the system through a period of unprecedented growth since becoming its director in 1989. \u003ci\u003eFrom Carnegie to Cyberspace\u003c\/i\u003e shows how this system has grown, adapted, and innovated its way through a century of public service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Schuette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1935106147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935106142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Butler Center for Arkansas Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Shirley Schuette","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46721346961663,"sku":"9781935106142","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a33362c9-d845-408e-962e-e8389db2e577.jpg?v=1742752588","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-carnegie-to-cyberspace-shirley-schuette-9781935106142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
