The Carnegie Library refers to a network of public libraries established with funding from Andrew Carnegie, a wealthy industrialist and philanthropist. Between 1883 and 1929, Carnegie funded the construction of over 2,500 libraries worldwide, aiming to promote education and literacy. These libraries often featured grand architecture and were designed to be accessible to the public. Many Carnegie Libraries still operate today, serving as community hubs for learning and resources. They typically offer a variety of services, including book lending, internet access, and educational programs. The legacy of Carnegie's investment in public libraries continues to influence library systems around the globe.
