Northlandia

Are you familiar with Carnegie libraries?  The Northland was once home to several libraries started with funding from industrialist Andrew Carnegie. Some of them still operate as libraries. Some were torn down. Some have found new lives. For this episode of Northlandia, News Tribune features reporter Teri Cadeau and digital producer Dan Williamson discuss these historic homes for hardcover (and paperback) books. Of the Northland Carnegie libraries, those still operating as libraries are in Coleraine, Mountain Iron, Eveleth and Two Harbors. Carnegie libraries were torn down in Hibbing, Virginia and West Duluth. Duluth still has two Carnegie library buildings that remain, but have taken on new purposes. Other places where they've been repurposed include Grand Rapids and Superior (two).  Superior was home to Wisconsin's first and last Carnegie libraries, which was discussed in a 2022 episode of the Superior Telegram's Archive Dive podcast.
