While Andrew Carnegie did not personally open any of the Toronto libraries,
he briefly visited the central public library at Church and Adelaide streets
on April 27, 1906, where he was thanked by the library board and a deputation
from Victoria College for their respective grants. Carnegie shook hands
with “a group of ladies, members of the library staff, who were
lined up to see him.” He was then taken to City Hall to receive
an address of welcome from Mayor Emerson Coatsworth.
