PurposeCreated as a special initiative of
the Clark County Historical Museum, Vancouver, Wa., the Carnegie
Library Consortium of Washington (CLCW) is a collaboration of Carnegie
libraries in Washington State. The CLCW recognizes the unique society
Carnegie buildings represent. As such, the consortium is an inclusive
organization; open to all Washington State Carnegie library buildings
regardless of whether they have been adapted for re-use.
Mission StatementThe CLCW is instilled with the mission of identifying Carnegie libraries in Washington State, raising awareness of the buildings and preserving them for future generations.
The consortium also strives to connect and collaborate with other Carnegie library preservation groups around the globe to ensure that these unique buildings are recognized for their valuable service to community and saved in perpetuity.
