Campaign under way to repair, renovate Perth Amboy's (NJ) landmark library
Thanks to MyCentralJersey.com for this story:
Campaign under way to repair, renovate Perth Amboy's landmark library - About $9 million is needed to repair and renovate the city's 106-year-old library - funds the cash-strapped city doesn't have.
The city is partnering with Celebrate Perth Amboy, a nonprofit organization that has been active in Perth Amboy for more than 20 years, to raise funds to restore, renovate and extend the historic Perth Amboy Public Library.
The Library was built in 1901 with funds from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation. Opened in 1903 the building is structurally sound. The library is not on the New Jersey or National Register of Historic Places. Kubulak said that designation could help with fundraising efforts.

Renovate! Don't obliterate!
Old library undergoes renovations This great story out of Greenwood MS, thanks to The Greenwood Commonwealth:
The old Greenwood-Leflore Library building is in the midst of being renovated. The historical library, which is owned jointly by the city and Leflore County, is located on West Washington Street. The only Jacobethan Revival-style library in the state, it was built in 1914 with funding provided from a Carnegie Library Grant. In 1955, work was completed on an addition designed by architect R.J. Moor, which blended with the library’s original architectural style. Read the article here (includes photo).
Hats off to County and city officials for saving instead of demolishing!
