Carnegie Chronicle
May 2021
Note from the Director
If you haven't come by the library recently, we hope you come by soon- the library is now open at all hours for browsing and computer use. When you visit, you may notice that things look a little brighter in here-- that's because the library recently took advantage of a SWEPCO incentive program to retrofit all of our old fluorescent lighting to LED fixtures, which will help save energy and cut down on our electricity costs. This change is one of our latest steps in the Carnegie Cares sustainability initiative to make your library a more environmentally-friendly institution.
