The Carnegie Center's mission is to create and support programs that foster literacy and learning as a lifelong process for all citizens. The Carnegie Center encourages collaboration among media, businesses, schools, civic organizations, and the community at large on behalf of literacy and learning. It also strives to gather information concerning literacy and learning within Lexington and across the state and nation and to make that information available to the public.

Description:
The Carnegie Center is a non-profit family learning center devoted to helping all citizens improve their quality of life. Our open-door policy invites people young and old to learn something new. We offer seasonal classes in writing, computer literacy, and foreign language; tutoring for students grades K-12; vibrant youth and family programs and exhibits, readings, and other arts-related events designed to encourage an appreciation for all art forms and for learning in general. Many classes and events at the Carnegie Center are free, and wherever low-cost registration fees are required, scholarships are available to help those in need. The Carnegie Center has long been a haven for writers, and we have built on that tradition to become a home to diverse groups of people who love to read, discuss, explore, play, create, and learn. There's something for everyone at the Carnegie Center, WHERE LEARNING LIVES.
