I love my town library and I love all that Carnegie stands for. I was so pleased to see Carnegie invested in my town in 1909. This library was my homework helper, my typewriter for school papers and later the computer when in college as a single mom. My library was my sanctuary, my fun time with my daughter that we could afford, and inevitably the help I needed to become a teacher. I took disadvantaged teenagers to New York City every year for 16 years for business competitions, they excelled! Every year we’d read the plaque about Carnegie at Rockefeller Plaza. Now that I am retired, this completes a circle for me and one I’m so proud to share. It was tough at times but my library was always there. That’s a legacy!
