Brown County Library to Receive Donation from Carnegie Foundation
The Brown County Library is set to receive a $10,000 donation from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, a foundation established by Andrew Carnegie.
This donation is part of the Carnegie Libraries 250 initiative, which celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Opportunities for success and prosperity expand when people have access to information and ideas. Andrew Carnegie knew this because of experiences in his own life. He funded libraries to give others what he had received himself -- access to ideas and information.
Brown County Library executive director Sarah Sugden highlighted the significance of this donation in a news release.
