Libraries mentioned in The Memory Keeper's Daughter:
page 94: ...Caroline had started taking Phoebe to the library on her day off. At the wide oak tables of the Carnegie, in the airy, spacious, high-ceilinged rooms, she stacked up the books and articles and began to read, grim journeys into gloomy institutions, shortened lives, no hope.
page 97: They'd met in the library one bleak January day when Caroline, overwhelmed by experts and grim statistics, had slammed a book shut in despair.
