Your textbook may have other thoughts on the matter, but generally speaking Charlemagne is credited with three major achievements:

1. He reunited most of continental Western Europe under his rule and was created the first "Emperor of the Romans" since the fall of the Roman Empire in the 6th century

2. He initiated the "Carolingian Renaissance", ordering the monks in his Empire to systematically collect and copy the works of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Practically all the ancient Greek and Roman scriptures that have survived did so because of this order and because of the copies that were then made

3. He (forcibly) converted the Saxons and many other peoples east of the river Rhine to Christianity.
