I am sure you guys heard Carnegie Mellon University or Carnegie Hall. Those are started or initiated by Andrew Carnegie who was a businessman, philanthropist in the late 19th century and became one of the richest Americans in history.
He also started libraries all over the U.S, Europe, Australia, and many other places. Total libraries around 2509 between 1883 and 1929.
I didn’t know anything about Carnegie Libraries till today morning. We are visiting a small town (Healdsburg) in northern California. I checked what’s nearby places to visit then found Healdsburg Museum which was a Carnegie Library before.
All I did a couple of google map/ browser search. You will surprise when you are curious about what’s the background story of everyday items.
