Andrew Carnegie’s decision to help with library construction developed from his very own experience. Born in 1835, he spent his first 12 years inside the coastal town of Dunfermline, Scotland. There he heard men read aloud and discuss books borrowed via the Tradesmen’s Subscription Library that his father, a weaver, had helped create. Carnegie began his formal education at age eight, but was required to stop after only three years. The rapid industrialization of this textile trade forced small businessmen like Carnegie’s father due to business. Therefore, your family sold their belongings and immigrated to Allegheny, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
