MAN WHO LOVED LIBRARIES: THE STORY OF ANDREW CARNEGIE (PB)

Andrew Carnegie arrived in America from Scotland in 1848. He was just 12 years old. He worked in factories and telegraphy, invested in railways, built and then sold a steel company, and became the richest American of all time. Carnegie believed strongly in sharing his wealth, and one of the ways he did this was by paying for thousands of public libraries around the world. Told in simple, lyrical text, Carnegie’s story unfolds against striking, stylized illustrations that transport young readers to the bustle and boom of the Industrial Revolution
