Carnegie’s Offer Accepted for Akron Library
Cornnell Monday night voted to accept Andrew Carnegie’s offer to build and equip a library in Akron at Drury Street, with Blake Park as location. The city must provide 7000 dollars from the regular library tax levy, while Carnegie will supply 70 dollars for the building and equipment. The library board member said Carnegie would be notified immediately and construction planned promptly. John C. Frank, who championed Carnegie’s funding, indicated representatives would not demand a change in building style, with construction likely beginning next spring and completion within the year. Moving the library to the new building will save 1200 dollars per year in rent, helping create a top-tier Akron library.
