We’re one of about 1,280 Carnegie Libraries across the United States that will receive a $10,000 gift from Carnegie Corporation of New York in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.

While we are no longer housed in our original Carnegie building, we are incredibly proud of its history and the role it played in founding library services for our community. More than a century after philanthropist Andrew Carnegie helped fund the construction of 1,681 libraries nationwide, we continue to serve our community with the same spirit of access and learning.

Learn more about this initiative and discover the history of our library on the Carnegie Libraries Across America map.
