The main source of income for public library is?

Public libraries in the US are generally funded by municipal appropriation; that is, if the residents of a town vote to maintain a library, then the town has to set aside money to do so. That's for municipal libraries. Libraries that aren't municipally funded are usually called Association libraries; that is, the town isn't required to send them any money. These libraries support themselves through constant fundraising; the town may contribute money to the library's budget.


Are all libraries non-profit?

No. There are a lot of for-profit libraries. Most for-profit libraries are corporate libraries, while non-profit libraries tend to be public libraries. Many libraries charge other libraries for the use of their resources - particularly if they have rare or subject specific items. This charge varies from library to library, however it is often very expensive for public libraries and they typically lose money in providing this service.

Why is Andrew Carnegie so important in libraries?

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.
