Orignial the Carnegie Public Library..
If you have time please go inside and ask for Mike the Manager and he will give you more information on this building.

The spiral staircase and glass floor are worth the time to step inside and look around.

Setting out Signal for his mission from this cache...

Built in 1905 with a $34,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie, the structure served as the Carnegie Library until 1976.

Plans to turn the structure into a restaurant fell through, and the building was auctioned off in 1978. Dr. Mel Okeon purchased the building, and successfully applied for, and received National Register status for the building.

Over its 100+ years, the building has also picked up a reputation for being haunted.

There are Haunted tours of this "HAUNTED BOOKSTORE" Ghost Hunts
