Carolina Dreaming

摘要

"The Scene was bleak upon my family's arrival in Union, SC, four years ago," writes Jennifer Alexander. "The historic building was beautiful and inviting.... Our first visit was anything but.... The children's collection was old and musty. I feared that my two-and-a-half-year-old twins were making too much noise for the quiet and seemingly 'adult only' library." But in the past three years, Alexander concludes, the Union County Carnegie Library (UCCL) has "been transformed."rnThe library board, selected by the county supervisors, knew something had to be done. And it was. In October 2005, the board hired Nancy E. Rosenwald as UCCL director. Longing to get back to South Carolina from western Connecticut, Rosenwald was immediately attracted to the job posting by the photo of UCCL's gem of a beaux arts Carnegie building. "I saw the picture and decided I wanted to work there," she says.
