 Carnegie Library exterior restoration work is almost complete and the interior work on the building is currently underway. There is a lot of progress being made inside and outside of the historical building since construction began at the end of last summer. Right now they are in the process of working on new heating and cooling systems. The Friends of the Carnegie Treasurer says that as soon as the basement is ready for tenants, they will have people moving in to run their businesses and organizations. The timing is good, we're on schedule according to the architects and the builder. We are planning to be finished with the construction restoration by the end of June. So that's the goal and it seems like everything's working so far. A community celebration is in the works to celebrate the Carnegie Library. That celebration is expected to be held this August.
