Carnegie Library, Runcorn, Grade II listed library building in Runcorn, England.
The Carnegie Library features red brick walls, stone detailing, and large windows that illuminate the interior reading spaces and collection areas.
Construction of the library began in 1906 with a £3,000 grant from industrialist Andrew Carnegie, extending the existing Waterloo House structure.
The library operated as a central knowledge center for Runcorn residents until 1981, when services moved to a new facility at Runcorn Shopping City.
Located on Egerton Street, the library building stands near the center of Runcorn, with coordinates at latitude 53.342 and longitude -2.7374.
The library approval process required the town to demonstrate its commitment by providing the building site and ensuring continuous operational funding.
