Work has continued on our upstairs. The dome has been restored and is in the process of being re-installed. There have been some delays in getting some of the materials for the project. Re-opening the upstairs for public use has been pushed back to mid or late June. An exactly date for re-opening the upstairs will be posted later. In the meantime, be sure to visit our construction photos page for new pictures of the re-installed dome!

The Carnegie Public Library is undergoing a major renovation. The work will be done in three phases. Phase I includes the second floor and will last from April 1 – June 1. During this time the second floor is closed to the public and books, magazines, movies, and computers have been moved to the first floor. The Genealogy Department will be closed during Phase I for two months.
The second floor is scheduled to re-open June 2 and work will begin on the south parking lot lobby and children’s area. Phase II will last from June 2 – July 31. During this time the parking lot entrance will be closed and elevator access restricted. The children’s department can be accessed through the East Street doors; the second floor can be accessed only by the North Street entrance. Access to public restrooms may be limited during this time.
All library services and collections will be available to the public during Phase II (June 2-July 31).
The final phase will begin August 1 and includes renovation of the meeting room. This phase will only take four weeks.
The Library may be closed one or two days this summer while the book collections are moved around. Please check the website at cplwcho.org for updates or call before you come.
The Library Board would like to thank our community for their patience and understanding during this time. The results will be well worth the wait.

* Repairing and painting the plaster walls
* Adding more public computers for adults and children
* Remodeling the children’s activity and story hour room
* Upgrading the lighting and computer wiring
* Creating inviting reading and display areas
* Installing a working fireplace
