Carnegie Free Library
Jan 01, 2013 to Dec 31, 2013 This year marks the Carnegie Free Library's 110th Birthday. That's quite an accomplishment in this digital age. One way to honor this is to go to the Library's Facebook page and click LIKE. They want to reach the goal of 1,110 friends this year, but let's give them more. The Library has so much more to offer than just books. There are crafts, storytelling, reading programs, signing up to do Volunteer Community Service to get school and/or scouting credits. There's a whole year to celebrate, so check them out on their website to see what all is going on this year. Their website is http://carnegiefreelib.org/ Call 724-628-1380 to see how they can help you and how you can help them. 110 years, that's a long time to be there for the Community, show your thanks and appreciation!
