County to Open Carnegie Library with Park Ground Plans
At a county commissioners meeting the deed for the library site was accepted from J M Carey and Bru. The land will be used for county library and park purposes. The city will close part of First street and connect grounds to Mokler property to expand park space. Natrona Public Library Association will take charge of the Carnegie Library building and move county library property there. A meeting of county library association members is planned to ready the building for occupancy. Funding remains a hurdle as county tax money is restricted to specific library uses and about 2000 dollars is the current fund. County and city officials hope to find a way to make the library a public, jointly supported facility.
