What’s happening at Carnegie Library?

When was the last time you read a really great book? You know, the kind of book that you just can’t put down, stay up late to read, and feel compelled to suggest to everyone you know? Was it a gripping tale of suspense? An historical novel of the westward expansion? Perhaps a true tale of triumph in the face of adversity, or a cozy love story set in the south? Whatever your last favorite book, library staff will help you find your next! With reading lists, read-alikes, and databases such as Novelist and Fantastic Fiction, we can help match any genre, style, or author. Try us out!

Mark your calendars for the Carnegie Library Annual Book Sale with AAUW! The sale begins on Wednesday, Aug. 3 at 2 p.m., with the Preview Sale. Admission for the Preview Sale is $2.
