1907. One of only two Carnegie donated libraries still functioning as a library, this building was constructed based on Andrew Carnegie's strict guidelines. Partial to wooden floors, 16-foot high embossed metal ceilings and two-story structures, his influence is still evident today. One floor was originally designed for community functions and included both a kitchen and auditorium.
