Library Carnegie Building to Receive $10,000 Gift

- Nov 12, 2025
Big news! Our library is receiving a $10,000 gift from Carnegie Corporation of New York in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. The award is part of Carnegie Libraries 250, a special initiative celebrating the upcoming 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and honoring the roughly 1,280 Carnegie Libraries still serving their communities across the United States. Carnegie Libraries hold a special place in American history and in the hearts of generations of Americans. Between 1886 and 1917, Andrew Carnegie funded the construction of 1,681 libraries nationwide. 

We’re proud to continue to use the Carnegie Building for not just our many library programs, but also as a space the public can use to host meetings and events. Stay tuned for updates on how we will utilize this amazing gift.
