A Beacon of Culture, Community and Learning

The Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall opened to the public in 1901. Although Carnegie went on to fund more than 2800 libraries, the Andrew Carnegie Free Library would be the only library in the country to bear his first name.

Build as a focal point for a growing mill town, the Andrew Carnegie Free Library has been a bright spot serving the community and five generations of families in Carnegie and the surrounding Chartiers Valley community for more than 100 years.

Services of A. L. Brourman Associates, Inc. were retained in 2002 to conduct a Feasibility Study and $8 million Capital Campaign to renovate the Carnegie Free

Library & Music Hall. In addition, the firm also counsels the library in the areas of organizational development, government relations, special events and public relations.
