 Well, construction is about to begin to restore Bemidji's 109-year-old Carnegie Library. For six years, friends of the Carnegie have been fundraising to save the historic landmark. And they raised over $2 million for the restoration. In July, the Bemidji City Council voted to move forward with the project, and now contractors are ready to begin the work. Starting next week, exterior work will begin on the building's facade in hopes to have it completed before the winter. It should be starting next week, primarily with the exterior work of the masonry. The contractors will need to do a lot of that exterior tuck pointing and some brickwork before the frost and the heavy winter comes. Most of the project will be an inside project, and so the community won't see a lot because it's primarily done inside. The entire Carnegie renovation project is expected to be completed by June of 2019.
