    Excerpts from Peter Krass's Lecture "Andrew Carnegie: Ruthless Empire Builder and Pioneering Philanthropist"
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Krass, Peter; Gustaferro, Janice E.
    “What I came to realize about Carnegie is that he is really like a flawed Shakespearean hero… he really did consider the world a stage… and when he was on that stage he wore a variety of masks and behind each mask was a distinct character and you really could not reconcile various characters.” “He would attempt to promote himself and ideas in one direction, but practically speaking it didn’t work. You get an idea that there are these two sides to Carnegie, this idealist side and this practical man.”

    Excerpts From Sally Gardner Reed's Lecture "The Power of Friends: Raising Support for Your Library and Non-Profit"
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Reed, Sally Gardner, 1953-; Gustaferro, Janice E.
    “I think that we are at a very critical juncture with libraries.... We have challenges coming from the federal level in terms of policy making that’s not always library friendly and, of course, we have the economy and the money, which I think is more seriously threatened than ever before. Many of you may have heard that even during the great depression there isn’t at least any known case of a library closing and yet today they’re threatened everywhere.” “The privatization of publicly funded libraries is a new wave and it concerns me.... The people who make decisions for library funding… are really looking to save money, it’s not that they’re looking to make the libraries run better.”
