One of the very few remaining libraries which does not resemble a Carnegie Library, when passing by, even though the original building is still standing.
The problem is the new part is all build from white glazed brick and the old building was therefore also painted white to match the colour scheme.
There is no corner stone, no plaque nor a name, only the usual photograph of Mr.Carnegie inside the building.
The long inside ramp leading to the lower level can be accessed from the parking lot entrance.
