Suburban Chicago man has painted 100 mini-libraries and counting for his community; CBS News Chicago, November 3, 2023

NOEL BRENNAN, CBS News CHICAGO ; Suburban Chicago man has painted 100 mini-libraries and counting for his community

"A Mount Prospect man's garage is his home studio and workshop – and he gives everything he builds to the community.

What Joey Carbone builds are mini-libraries – and he has been doing it since 2019. As CBS 2's Noel Brennan reported Friday, Carbone is about to reach a big milestone...

"A lot of people say, 'Hey, are you the library guy?'" Carbone said. "I'm like, 'Yeah, that is what they call me.'"...

Carbone's nonprofit put mini-libraries all over the map in Mount Prospect and neighboring communities – free of charge.

"Look at all this access to literacy we put out there," Carbone said."
