THE CARNEGIE TO KICKOFF CHILDREN ‘STORY TIME’ ON THURSDAYS
By: City of Newnan
The Carnegie will present story time on Thursdays at 10:00 am beginning October 22, 2009. Story time will include a mix of music, puppets, stories and crafts targeted for three and four year olds. “I look forward to sharing my love for books with the children in our community,” said Dianne Oliver, Carnegie Media Assistant. Please call 770-683-1347 to reserve a spot or for more information. About the Carnegie Carnegie is one of the most historically significant structures in downtown Newnan and was built in 1904. The building served as a library until 1987 when a new facility was constructed on Hospital Road. With its iconic lighted sign that states the ‘City of Homes’ on top of the building, citizens recognize the Carnegie when they drive through historic downtown. The Carnegie was funded by the city of Newnan’s General Fund and partly by 2007 Special Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). The Carnegie’s cost to be renovated was over $1.5 million dollars to the city.
