Within just a few weeks left before the arrival of the librarian, Miss McWhirter and the formal opening of the new handsome Carnegie library. Donations of books are now in order and those who wish to donate either books or funds should get in touch with the book committee or officers of the library association. The library is a public institution and can be a factor for much good in the community.
Miss McWhirter comes highly recommended from the Atlanta Library school and will be here in time to install the books for the opening of the library, which will be ready for use by July.
From the front page of The Hickory Daily Record, Saturday, June 10, 1922. The Elliott-Carnagie Library in Hickory, pictured above, was converted for use as a radio station WHKY by Catawba Valley Broadcasting Company in the 1950s. It later housed an advertising and public relations firm, according to Wikipedia, Elliott–Carnegie Library - Wikipedia
