Neligh Library Home

This blog serves as a journal starting in June of 2006 when I moved back to Nebraska with my three young children. Starting over with a new career in a new place can be overwhelming but I have focused my energy on the renovation of this beautiful building that will someday be a home for my family. The process is liberating and therapeutic. Since most of my friends and family are located around the world and are not here to watch, this blog will serve as a window to the journey.

Carnegie Library in Pierce, Nebraska


In researching the history of our very own Carnegie Library, we ran across another in a nearby town that was built in the same year as ours. In an effort to save the Pierce library from demolotion, some residents took it upon themselves to set up a foundation to preserve and maintain the historic building. Last Saturday afternoon we ventured to Pierce to see their progress and share some renovation horror stories and successes. It's nice to meet other people who share a passion for preserving historic architecture. Check out their website if you get a chance.

I checked out the "twin" to your library. Here is a website that shows the Carnegie Library in Lewistown, IL. It is exactly the same!
