The Carnegie Library was designed by William McLeand and Wright of Boston MA in Carnegie Classical Revival Style.
A Brief History of the Building
1903: Andrew Carnegie gave $13,500 to the town to build the library.
1985: The town received an historic preservation grant from Mass Historic to restore the exterior.
1997: A ramp was built on the south side for handicapped access.
This is the only operating Carnegie library in Massachusetts that carries the title in its name. It might also be the only library to have a mounted moose on the wall of the children's area.
This building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
