The Carnegie Library has served Montague since 1905 but today, the building no longer meets many of the needs of our community.
Now, we have the opportunity to imagine a new space together.
Join Library Director, Caitlin Kelley, for a tour of the Carnegie Library to learn about the state of the building and how a new library could support the needs of everyone.
On the tour, participants will:
• Learn about the building’s history
• See spaces usually unavailable to the public
• Explore the building’s challenges, including accessibility limitations and lack of dedicated space for children, teens, and hosting programs
• Ask questions and share your perspective
