KITCHENER - Scottish-American steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie was a self-made man, who started working at age 13 in a cot- ton mill and went on to become one of the wealthiest men of his time. He was so grate- ful for the solace he got from books that he donated millions of dollars in the late 1800s and early 1900s to build more than 2,500 public libraries around the world. He helped build 125 such libraries in Canada, and Waterloo Region benefited hugely from that largesse, with eight librar- ies, built between 1903 and 1923. The Waterloo North branch of the Archi- tectural Conservancy of Ontario held a se- ries of lectures to mark Carnegie's legacy, which has left a lasting impression on local streetscapes. The group is capping its trib- ute with a daylong bus tour that visits sev- eral of the Carnegie libraries in the region and surrounding counties. The tour will visit a wide variety of li- braries that represent both extremes of Carnegie's building program, from grand, imposing libraries built in the classic Beaux Arts style to charming examples de- signed for a smaller community. The tour starts and ends at Fairview Park mall. It runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, includes lunch, on- board snacks and costs $60 per person. For registration and payment go to Eventbrite and search for Bus Tour of Car- negie Libraries.
