Our Library Place – Hayner Youth Library, Alton, IL

“In the spring of 1901, Andrew Carnegie offered to build a Carnegie Library for the city of Alton. This offer was respectfully declined! John Hayner, through further generous gifting to the endowment fund, provided for the Hayner library to be free to all the citizens of Alton. The acceptance of the Carnegie proposal would have required a yearly taxation on the citizens. Mr. Hayner’s benefaction allowed Alton citizens to enjoy the only free library in the country, wholly under the management of the ladies of the Jennie D. Hayner Library Association, previously the Alton Library Association.” – from the Hayner Public Library District history.
