The Carnegie Library here in Crown Point, Indiana is part of the 1,700 libraries that were created from funds from the donations of noted philanthropist and steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie.

Carnegie’s money helped construction of 9 libraries here in Lake County as well as 2 in Porter County in the early 1900′s.

However, the city is considering selling the Carnegie Library in Crown Point, Indiana when its new facility opens in the next couple of years. Officials hope to find a buyer who appreciates its place in history when it could go for sale in under two years. Afterall, this is a part of Crown Point as well as our nations history! Many of the buildings which were part of the 1,700 have been destroyed, whereas others serve as gift shops and museums.

The library is 102 years old and once served as one of the main community focal points for Crown Point, IN. But now it is too small and is currently used for library offices, storage and meetings.
