	Carnegie library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of the 2,509 libraries funded between 1883 and 1929, 1,689 were built in the United States, 660 in Britain and Ireland, 156 in Canada, and others in Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, and Fiji.
		In the early 20th century, a Carnegie library was the most imposing structure in hundreds of small American communities from Maine to California.
		Interest in libraries was heightened at a crucial time in their early development by Carnegie's high profile and his genuine belief in their importance.

		It was in June 1950 that Dr. R.H. Fitzgerald, then chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh, announced the establishment of a photographic library and the appointment of Roy Stryker as the director.
		But then the Carnegie Library stepped in, citing its lack of an adequate file of local pictures and promising to "furnish adequate and safe space for the preservation and use of these files." The Pittsburgh Photographic Library was thus transferred to the main Carnegie Library in June 1960.
