The city of Covington received a total of $75,000 from philanthropist Andrew Carnegie for the 1904 construction of a library and performance hall. That performance hall is one of the unique features about this Kentucky Carnegie library; in later years, Carnegie refused to donate funds for anything but library space.

As part of our ongoing series on the history of the original Carnegie libraries of Kentucky and their current uses, we take a tour of the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center, the largest arts venue in Northern Kentucky.
