Carnegie Libraries
Special Event

Program Begins: 1 January 2010

Program Ends: 31 December 2012

 
Rules
 
To qualify for the 4"x4" rectangular 100% embroidered patch you must walk 20 YREs or scheduled events that pass a Carnegie Library. All Carnegie Libraries will be accepted in the US and Canada even though they could be vacant, used for offices, privately owned, etc. Even those that have been destroyed will qualify if there is a date on a plaque giving the year it was razed or if the club researched it and has the information at the finish table for the walkers. Only one stamp will be accepted even if there is a main library and a branch on the same trail. Insert cards will be accepted but no stamp write-ins will be accepted. There will be a complete list of Carnegie Libraries in the US on the website. Clubs please check this list as there are many communities with Carnegie Libraries that already have YREs. The YRE could already be going past a Carnegie Library, or maybe you would have to just alter the YRE, or set up a new trail including the Carnegie Library. There are over 1400 Carnegie Libraries in the US and 156 in Canada.

Books will not be mailed until December 2009.
