The Man Who Loved Libraries: The Story of Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie was born in a tiny stone cottage in a small Scottish village A large wooden loom took up most of the ground floor Andrew and his family lived ate and slept upstairs in the attic
Andrew’s father was a weaver But fewer and fewer people were buying the kind of fine linens he crafted on his loom They wanted the newer cheaper fabrics that were being made in mills To earn a little extra money Andrew’s mother sold candy cabbages and carrots from their cottage
