In general, Anderson's and Miller's works were relied on most.Number ofpubliclibrariesNumber ofacademiclibrariesMiller, pp. 38–40EarliestgrantThese dates were compiled from the microfilm records of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, archived at Columbia University, New York City.Latestgrant Total amount(US$) Alabama 14 14 5 $289,840.00 Arizona 4 4 — $64,000.00 Arkansas 4 4 — $138,600.00 California 121 142 2 $2,836,987.00 Colorado 27 35 1 $779,943.00 Connecticut 8 11 — $191,900.00 District of Columbia 1 4 1 $732,000.00 Florida 10 10 4 $254,500.00 Georgia 20 24 5 $613,756.00 Idaho 10 10 — $137,500.00 Illinois 105 106 5 $1,751,200.00 Indiana 156 165 2 $2,588,664.38 Iowa 99 101 7 $1,705,706.00 Kansas 58 59 7 $1,070,496.00 Kentucky 15 23 4 $896,800.00 Louisiana 4 9 — $380,000.00 Maine 18 18 2 $311,450.00 Maryland 1 14 — $500,000.00 Massachusetts 35 43 5 $1,651,346.00 Michigan 53 61 — $1,655,950.00 Minnesota 57 65 1 $998,975.00 Mississippi 10 11 2 $235,000.00 Missouri 26 33 2 $1,555,143.84 Montana 17 17 — $226,700.00 Nebraska 68 69 — $706,288.00 Nevada 1 1 — $15,000.00 New Hampshire 9 9 1 $154,000.00 New Jersey 30 36 — $1,066,935.03 New Mexico 3 3 — $32,000.00 New York(New York City alone) 41(1) 106(66) 3(—) $6,697,149.00 North Carolina 9 10 6 $294,313.71 North Dakota 8 8 3 $201,100.00 Ohio 79 106 7 $3,239,928.64 Oklahoma 24 24 1 $494,500.00 Oregon 25 31 1 $498,000.00 Pennsylvania(Allegheny County)(Philadelphia alone) 27(12)(1) 59(19)(25) 9(2)(1) $5,610,587.00 Rhode Island — — 1 $150,000.00 South Carolina 14 14 4 $189,700.00 South Dakota 25 25 2 $311,000.00 Tennessee 10 13 7 $605,500.00 Texas 30 32 1 $664,500.00 Utah 23 23 — $255,470.00 Vermont 4 4 1 $105,000.00 Virginia 2 3 4 $253,000.00 Washington 33 44 — $1,046,000.00 West Virginia 3 3 1 $101,500.00 Wisconsin 60 63 2 $1,149,511.50 Wyoming 16 16 — $257,500.00 Hawaii 1 1 — $100,000.00 Puerto Rico 1 1 — $100,000.00 Totals 1,419 1,687 109 $45,865,440.10 A: Owing to confusion from Old Colorado City's incorporation into Colorado Springs, Jones counts a library twice and reports this figure as 36. B: Bobinski and Miller do not list Gardiner as having received a full grant because its grant was to complete an unfinished building (noted in Anderson and Miller); Anderson and Jones include it. C: Jones erroneously reports this number as 64, while Bobinski reports the number of grants at 58. However, all four references list 65 libraries in their gazetteers; Anderson, Jones, and Miller list 57 grants. D: No reference tallies this number correctly for the public libraries. The amount is reported as $962,475 by Anderson, who for unknown reasons omits Walker from his list. Bobinski and Miller list Walker, but sum to $969,375. However, their gazetteers sum to $968,975 which, when added to $30,000 grant for the academic library in Saint Paul, confirms the above figure. E: Bobinski and Miller do not list Orange's library in summary tables, but note in their full listings that the community received a small grant toward the purchase of a branch library. F: Bobinski and Miller summarize 105 Ohio libraries, though Miller's summary details 107. Jones, who investigated the branch libraries of Cleveland and Cincinnati, arrives at 106, the most authoritative number. G: This figure includes the cost of the central library in Pittsburgh, which Miller does not include. H: Bobinski and Miller claim there are just 43 libraries in Washington but detail 44 in their summary tables, which matches the other references.
