Rachael Altman will be speaking to us about the Carnegie Library in Downtown Bryan.
Originally the Carnegie Public Library, the building is now a repository for rare historical materials (although the name on the structure has not changed). The center’s holdings are astonishing.
Armed with such a rich treasure trove of documents (plus a little time and a lot of patience), even the most amateur history buff could piece together a respectably detailed history of the Brazos Valley, its real estate, and its people. That’s why the library’s resources are used largely for genealogical research.
The BVCIL is a consumer-based, consumer-controlled, cross-disability, cross-cultural, non-residential, private nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose mission is to promote the full inclusion and participation of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of community life.
BVCIL provides five core independent living services (a) information and referral, (b) IL skills training, (c) peer support, including cross-disability peer support; (d) individual and systems advocacy, and (e) transitional services.
