What is Carnegie library?
A '''Carnegie library''' is a [[library]] that was built with the help of money from [[Andrew Carnegie]]. Over 2,500 Carnegie libraries were built across the world. Between [[1883]] and [[1919]], Carnegie would give [[money]] to cities and towns to build a library. The cities or towns would have to give a place to build the library, and promise to give 10% of the cost of the library's [[construction]] each year for the library's costs. Many Carnegie library buildings still stand. Some are used for other purposes now. Most are made of [[brick]]. They often have a [[staircase]] leading up to the front door. {{US-stub}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Libraries in the United States]]
