4.0

A wonderful, wonderful story about Andrew Carnegie’s legacy. How he grew up and wanted an education, so he sought one in books. When he made his fortune, he gave back buy building libraries that were to remain free to the people who use them. I also really like the real life pictures of things Carnegie built, as well as showing one of his steel mills. They didn’t shy away from saying that some perceived him as a bad man for his work practices either. A well done book for any library, not just Carnegie libraries.
