Spades Park

The Spades Park Branch was built with funds from a $120,000 grant by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation and opened in 1912, six months after the opening of the city’s other remaining Carnegie Library, the East Washington Branch. The 7,500-square-foot branch underwent a $610,000 renovation in 1987 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012.

Hi, I'm Renny Canaday, Branch Manager for Spades Park. I don't have one specific genre that I only read. Two of my favorite books are The Giver by Lois Lowry and Ready Player One (the audiobook!) by Ernest Cline. Authors I've read more than one book by: Taylor Jenkins Reid and John Grisham. Come by and visit us! For questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. We are always happy to help!
