Carnegie Oldpark

Carnegie Oldpark Carnegie Oldpark Library, Belfast, Northern Ireland - elegant heritage asset being restored as The Carnegie Centre for Weaving, and community use.

Join us in the effort! Carnegie Oldpark is one of the over 2,500 libraries, that Andrew Carnegie gifted, over a century ago, across the English-speaking world. Abandoned by the public sector nearly a decade ago, Carnegie Oldpark stands as a beacon of hope for the new Belfast. We want to bring this superb example of Tudorbethan architecture back to life, for community use. We want the local people back to this building and fill it with enterprise, education and training, poetry and song - it will buzz with the voices of the local community.
