Rodman Public Library will receive a special gift in 2026.

The library, which recently marked 125 years of service in Alliance, is among more than 1,000 libraries across the country that will receive $10,000 from Carnegie Corporation of New York , the foundation established by Andrew Carnegie.

The award is part of Carnegie Libraries 250 , a special initiative celebrating the upcoming 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and honoring the roughly 1,280 Carnegie Libraries still serving their communities across the United States.

Scottish immigrant Andrew Carnegie funded the construction of 1,681 free public libraries nationwide between 1886 and 1917. About 750 continue to use their original buildings, while others have moved to new locations.
