Carnegie Foundation Fund Raiser and Information ![]() As the city-owned building nears its centennial milestone, supporters are trying to raise $4 million for restoration. The purpose is to use the building for multiple activities, including educational programs, meetings and family events. In early 2005 the Snohomish City Council approved recommendations by the Carnegie Preservation Committee to restore this historic building as a community resource. Restoration is expected to take about 5 years. Planning, fund raising, design and construction will be handled by the Snohomish Carnegie Foundation with guidance from the City of Snohomish. The Snohomish Carnegie Library is one of Washington State's remaining thirty historic Carnegie libraries. The library served the City of Snohomish for over 90 years. Its original construction represents the efforts of the City's early residents and the Carnegie Foundation, which funded libraries throughout the country from 1886 to 1923, to build a new facility. For more information, call 360-243-9509 or go to www.snohomishcarnegie.org. Donations can be sent to the Snohomish Carnegie Foundation, P.O. Box 1088, Snohomish, WA 98291.
