Inside our first Carnegie Library!

Wellington, Kansas. Our first Wal-Mart sighting since leaving Coffeyville this morning. We find the library without stopping to ask for directions and without a detour to the Wal-Mart. The Carnegie is a beautiful building, but then they all are. This one still houses the library, our first since Caldwell was closed. There is a stained glass window over the front entry. Huge white half globe lights flood the room with light. Lots of beautiful refinished old wood everywhere. Dark green carpet covers the floors. The new blends with the old and the results are lovely. We meet the library director who is busily shifting books in the children’s room trying to stay ahead of the upcoming summer reading program, she tells us.
