Upcoming Events
COMING SOON!
At GetSetUp, we believe that the current aging infrastructure, both globally and in the US, is not equipped to meet the growing demands of the aging population. Every service—from fitness, mental health, financial literacy to preventive health and commerce—needs to be reimagined to ensure equity and accessibility. Our mission is to build that infrastructure, starting with the first essential layer of this infrastructure: education.
By offering a wide range of educational and well-being programs, we empower older adults with the knowledge and skills they need to live fulfilling lives.

Story Time
Please join us at Carnegie Public Library in the Children’s Area for
Children's Story time every Wednesday at 1030am and 330pm.
United World College students and their Faculty Sponsor Margaret Leaf will be onsite helping with story time, arts and crafts, projects and out door activities. This is a community engagement program that UWC students volunteer for. The students will get to know the community and assist in the library's story time. So come to Carnegie for story time, fun and so many other activities.
Thank you
The program is free and open to the public.

Our History
An Original Andrew Carnegie Library, 1904
Carnegie Library is one of the many small-town libraries throughout the United States built with a grant from tycoon and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Designed by Rapp and Rapp architects, modeled after Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello, the library is a fine example of Georgian Revival architecture. It is one of a handful of Carnegie Libraries that still operates like a library.
Carnegie Public Library Oral History Project with Spanish Speaking Old Timers (MSS 776)
A collaboration with University of New Mexico Zimmerman Library and City of Las Vegas Carnegie Library
Zimmerman Library converted Carnegie's audio cassette collection of old Spanish speaking interviews from long-life residents in Las Vegas, surrounding areas and Northern New Mexico. We are grateful for the collaboration with UNM Zimmerman Library to make these audio interviews accessible online to reach more residents in our area and throughout the state and further.
Special thanks to Samuel Sisneros, archivist at the Center for Southwest Research, Zimmerman Library, UNM, for making this possible.
