Ballard's beloved landmark, the old Carnegie Library, will soon change ownership. Owners Karoline Morrison and her husband are selling the 1904 historic building for $3 million.

"It's time for someone new to step in my shoes. It's time for a new chapter," Morrison said.

In addition to the price tag, Morrison requires the new owner(s) to care for the building as she has.

"There has been some interest but I'm looking for someone to care for it and do all the things I have done," she said.

The building is listed on the National and State historic register and Morrison would like to see the building preserved. Morrison started leasing the building in 1963 and bought it in 1979.

"I've been here for a long time," she said. "When you have tenants, it's a 24/7 job. I have a busy life and this will give me more time."

Both, the old building as well as Karoline Morrison, are about to start a new chapter.

Morrison has big plans for the near future. She has a book titled "Twilight of the Blondes" coming out soon and she's currently working on the sequel. (More on that next week.)
