Hands On St. Nick - A Makeover
St. Nicholas Family Clinic
1901 Kentucky Ave.
8:00 am - 6:00 pm
Come help us give this 20 year old organization a NEW LOOK! Help us paint, clean, organize and create a welcoming environment for our patients and the community.

Specific needs include: taping & mudding supplies, paint & artwork groupings, rugs, blinds & plants/interior foliage, soft fluorescents, baby changing station (x2), office organizers, L-shape desk, chairs, coffee tables, flooring – wood laminate & vinyl or tile, and volunteers.

Having served almost 7,000 patients since opening in 1994, St. Nicholas Family Free Clinic has made a significant impact on the health of our community and region. We are looking forward to giving back to the clinic by recruiting local businesses and volunteers to help lay new floors, freshen the walls with new paint, and organize the space for people to be proud of. Featuring JLF Interior Designs.

Remembering the Carnegie Library

imageGot a great story about Paducah’s Carnegie Library? The McCracken County Public Library wants to hear all about it! Library staff members are planning a Thursday, Nov. 18, celebration of the library and its patron, Andrew Carnegie. 

While the program honors Carnegie for his 175th birthday in November, librarians are collecting memories of the building he made possible and patrons’ experiences there now. The recollections will be used for the celebration, but will also form a record of the historic library. Currently, no such record exists.

The Carnegie Library opened at 826 Broadway in October, 106 years ago. A fire damaged the library in 1963. It was replaced by the beautiful McCracken County Public Library, 555 Washington St., which we love and enjoy today.

If you have a memory, story or experience you’d like to share regarding the Carnegie Library, the McCracken County Library would love to read or hear all about it! Email your story to Library Director Julie Hart, or call her 270.442.2510, ext. 113. Julie’s also collecting oral histories, if you’re interested in doing a recording.

Save the date for Andrew Carnegie’s birthday celebration! Local historian John E. L. Robertson will share the history of the Carnegie Library at the current one at 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 18. Music and refreshments included!
