Newberg's Carnegie Library
The gift of Andrew Carnegie
. . . to the community of Newberg, a beautiful library that has served generations of Newberg residents for over 100 years.
Newberg's Carnegie Library was opened on March 29, 1912 and its centennial was celebrated in 2012.
Born in Scotland, Andrew Carnegie emigrated to America and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his parents at 13. He started working in a bobbin factory shortly thereafter and through his efforts, intelligence and a little bit of good luck, rose through the telegraph, railroad and finally the steel industry to become the richest man in the world at the turn of the last century.
Carnegie formulated this philosophy which guided his life and philanthropy: The Man Who Dies Rich, Dies Disgraced.
Carnegie granted funds to build 2,509 libraries throughout the world; 1,689 were built in the United States, 32 in Oregon and one in Newberg.
