Carbondale City Library Launches Let’s Raise the Roof Campaign

The Carbondale City Library – a member of the Northeast Kansas Library System – has launched the Let’s Raise the Roof Campaign to raise funds necessary to build a new library for the community.  The new 6,000 square foot facility is projected to cost between $1.3m and $1.6m, to be raised from a variety of sources.  Construction is estimated to begin in 2018.

Why a new building?  In the true spirit of a community anchor, the library seeks to expand opportunities for all patrons, including:

• More space for materials (collections)
• Flexible, engaging programming space
• Increased, reliable access to computers and Wi-Fi
• A community meeting room

To learn more about this exciting project, visit the Carbondale City Library or contact the library’s director, Alice Smith, at asmith@carbondalecitylibrary.org or (785) 836-7638.

The Carbondale City Library has partnered with the Northeast Kansas Library Foundation to assist with the campaign.  To make a gift to this project today, click HERE.  Be sure to designate your gift to benefit the Carbondale Building Fund.
