Cornish Library, Carnegie library in Armstrong Point, Winnipeg, Canada.

The Cornish Library features red brick walls, limestone details, tall rectangular windows, and a prominent portico with stone columns at the entrance.

The library opened in June 1915 with funding from the Carnegie Foundation, making it one of two Carnegie libraries constructed in Winnipeg.

The basement meeting room hosted lectures by Canadian novelist Nellie McClung, contributing to the literary development of the local community.

The library provides numerous services including books, digital resources, public computers with internet access, and a seed exchange program.

The building underwent extensive renovations in 2018, incorporating a glass reading area while maintaining its original architectural elements from 1915.
