 Bemidji's Carnegie Library got a helpful boost in its fundraising efforts to save the 106-year-old building. They saved the Carnegie Committee, received news this morning, that the project has been chosen to receive the Minnesota Historical and Cultural Heritage Grant for $345,000. This was the third time they applied for the grant, and while the grant is significant, more fundraising is still needed to be done. We need another $300,000 to do this building the way we envision it to be done correctly, making it handicapped accessible, moving it off this busy highway that you can hear the noise behind me, which has been very destructive to the front of the building. Construction and moving of the Carnegie could start as early as next spring. For more information, you can visit savethekarnagy.org.
