The Clovis Carnegie Library was constructed in 1915 with an $7000.00 dollar endowment from the Carnegie Foundation. It was used as a library until 1976. Designed by Fresno Architects Edward Glass and Charles Butner, it is
described as a simple classical building with Spanish Elements.
The building's exterior has been renovated covering up much of its former glory. It does retain its original massing, wide eaved roof, and entry stairway that might give the untrained eye a thought that this building may have had another life. It has been used as the offices for the Clovis Chamber of Commerce since 1985. It was named Fresno County Landmark #157 in 1967. Source - http://www.carnegie-libraries.org
