Happy early birthday, America — your Carnegie Libraries are getting $10,000! 🇺🇸🎉

Carnegie Libraries across America will each receive a $10,000 gift in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

We reached out to every Carnegie Library in the United States and confirmed that about 1,280 are still operating and associated with Andrew Carnegie, making them eligible.

The gifts anchor a $20 million special initiative that provides support for America’s civic institutions and organizations that foster civic participation and bring people together.

Each Carnegie Library may use the funds however they wish to celebrate the anniversary, further their mission, and serve their community.

📢 Help us reach your library! Tag your Carnegie Library in the comments below to make sure they have heard the good news!👇

Opening soon! Declaring the Revolution: America’s Printed Path to Independence investigates how printed materials in the years leading up to the American Revolution both strengthened the political cause for American independence and assisted the military victories of the Continental Army and Navy.

On view will be printings that furthered the democratic ambitions and ideals of Americans, including two extraordinary printings of the Declaration of Independence, a 1773 handbill printed by enslaved persons in Boston calling for the language of freedom to be applied to them, Thomas Paine's Common Sense, and much more.

Visit starting on November 14 to see this exhibit. Learn more at https://bit.ly/48ADdEZ.

Celebrating means more than learning our nation’s history. It means respecting the memory of those who sacrificed to establish the tenets we hold dear and which define us as a country. We have sometimes fallen short. We can always do better.

Congress adopted the American’s Creed in 1918. We live by it in the SAR and the DAR. It defines us. As it should. As it must.

The American's Creed by William Tyler Page

“I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.”
