This event celebrates America's 250th anniversary at the Howell Carnegie Library. A gift from the Carnegie Corporation of New York partially funds it. Part of the "Carnegie Libraries 250" initiative, these funds honor the 250th anniversary of the United States and  libraries' role as "cradles of democracy." Learn more about the history of America's founding on the library's website.
