 Well, after a rain delay, today construction on Bemidji's Carnegie Library officially got underway. Crews were busy clearing two nearby trees away from the 108-year-old structure. The trees had to be removed to make room for the new addition that would be built on the backside of the building. Once the trees have been removed, masonry work will begin, and will work its way around the building while the new addition is built.
