On Jan. 12, 1912, the Library Board met to consider the reply from Andrew Carnegie offering $12,500, for a library building for Morris, if a suitable lot were provided and the City Council would appropriate not less than $1,250 per year for its support.
An option on the Woodbury Lot, located at the corner of Liberty and North, had already been obtained from J. W. Rausch.
