He built lots of libraries around the world so people could read books !!!
Carnegie libraries are libraries which were built with money donated by Andrew Carnegie. More than 2,500 Carnegie libraries were built. Carnegie earned the nickname Patron Saint of Libraries. Of the 2,509 such libraries funded between 1883 and 1929, 1,689 were built in the United States, 660 in Britain and Ireland, 125 in Canada, and others in Australia, New Zealand, Serbia, the Carribean, and Fiji. Very few towns that requested a grant and agreed to his terms were refused. When the last grant was made in 1919, there were 3,500 libraries in the United States, nearly half of them built with construction grants paid by Carnegie.
