<font face="arial" size="2"><p style="margin:0;padding:0;">Thanks for the compilation. Actually the Ashland Carnegie library was finished in 1912 so we are celebrating our 100th birthday this September. We'll be having a fun celebration on Sunday September 23. You can even get your picture taken with a cutout of Andrew Carnegie himself.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;padding:0;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: #1f497d;">With Newberg’s celebration of its Carnegie Library centennial, one of our patrons wanted to know more about what happened to the Carnegie Libraries that are no longer in use in Oregon. I didn’t have the street addresses and what has happened to them all for her, but I thought the Oregon State Library would have that information. Well, thanks to </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: #1f497d;">Alice LaViolette, Reference Librarian in Government Research Services at the Oregon State Library who did the research, we now know this for all of Oregon’s Carnegie Libraries! Thanks Alice and thanks to Newberg’s patron Martha for asking the question!</span></p>
