The Burlington Carnegie Library is a simple stated building behind a row of evergreen trees and was an accomplishment to obtain.

Burlington was the smallest city to have received a Carnegie Grant to build library when it obtained the grant. As part of the condition the city council had to provide $500 a year and hire a librarian to aid in running the library. Doris Bailey Joyce became librarian and janitor for $27 a month.

The building remained as a library until 1978 when a larger building was built.
