"The Lompoc Museum is housed within a former Carnegie Library. The wealthy nineteenth century industrialist and later philanthropist Andrew Carnegie funded the construction of numerous libraries across the United States. Between 1899 and 1917, the Carnegie Corporation funded the construction of 142 libraries in 121 communities in California alone. The grants awarded by the Carnegie Corporation were for construction only. Any community applicant had to demonstrate its ability and intention to support the costs of the library’s daily operation, including the cost of employing a librarian, purchasing books, and maintaining the necessary utilities."
