Library Community,
September
is National Library Card Sign Up Month! This month, in addition to
utilizing all of the great services your library card provides you,
we invite you to join us on Monday, September 11th at 7pm for the
lecture, “Andrew Carnegie: From Steel to the Building of Libraries.”
Between
1886 and 1919, Andrew Carnegie donated more than $40,000,000 to the
building of 1,689 libraries for both small and large communities
across the country. During this lecture, we will explore how Carnegie
gave away more than 90% of his fortune accumulated through railroad
and steel earnings becoming a major philanthropist. Carnegie’s local
libraries in New Jersey and New York will also be discussed.
