Carnegie and Bertram never insisted on desegregated libraries or that communities accept and maintain separate branches for blacks, but they did attempt to make communities clearly set their own policies, so they could act accordingly"(Carnegie 36). "Carnegie and Betram tried to compute grant amounts according to the number of people permitted to use them"(Carnegie 32). This created a complication in southern communities where libraries were segregated. If the number of likely library users included blacks in the community, Carnegie wanted the assurance that blacks would be allowed to use the library.
