Meet Our New Sister Library



Meet Our New Sister Library!

Chornomors’k Central Public Library

We at The Carnegie Library of Homestead are excited to announce our sister library, Chornomors’k Library. The town of Chornomors’k is located along the Black Sea on the
Crimea Peninsula in the Ukraine.


Join us as we venture to deepen cultural relations between our two libraries and the communities they serve!

Local History
The area where the town is located has a rich history. The ruins of Ancient Greek colonies
reflect how life was here many centuries ago. All of the ruins are united under the National Historical-Archaeological Park “Kalos-Limen”. This park attracts many tourists who would like
to learn more about the life and culture of the ancient Greeks in the colonies. Visitors can do
this through tours which explore the architecture, traditions and rituals of the people who once
lived there. During archaeological digs scientists have discovered about six thousand artifacts which are now on display in the Local History Museum.
