August 21, 2006: Rare Book Library to Open in Jeffersonville, Kentucky
"After a $4 million renovation of the century-old Carnegie Library is completed in late October, it will become home to the Remnant Trust collection of 850 rare books and handwritten manuscripts by thinkers focusing on the importance of liberty and human dignity. "
"The collection's most ancient items — cuneiform cylinders from the Middle East — are about 4,000 years old, Remnant Trust President Kris Bex said."
