We are incredibly grateful for this unexpected but welcome gift! Our library board has decided to deposit the money in an investment account to be used for a future expansion or remodel of our library building.
Our Carnegie Library was dedicated in 1908. A substantial addition was added in 1990, but the original building is still in use as our quiet reading floor. Above is a picture of our director, Jim Ramsey, holding the check in front of a portrait of Andrew Carnegie that hangs above the fireplace on this floor.
This story was submitted by a Carnegie Library that received a $10,000 gift as part of the Carnegie Libraries 250 initiative. Did your library receive a gift? Share how you’re spending it here.
