Come and celebrate National Libraries Day at the new look Carnegie.
Communication from the Chair of the Friends to all members
A Project Group was set up initially with Friends support, but later excluded the Friends. Having completed their options exercise, they should now disband. However, they have formed an unaccountable shadow trust board, run by a self-appointed trio, with the aim of taking over the Carnegie Library building. Their plans are unworkable and would result in closure of the library and loss by the community of our public building. Click on the link below to view a full report prepared by a former Chair of our group which explains the issues.
