Dunfermline Carnegie Library
Dunfermline Carnegie Library, Public library and museum in Dunfermline, Scotland.
The Dunfermline Carnegie Library consists of multiple areas including reading rooms, galleries, and a local history research section across several floors.
Opened in 1883 with an £8000 donation from Andrew Carnegie, this building became the first Carnegie Library among 2,500 later established worldwide.
The library houses extensive collections of local artifacts, historical documents, and hosts temporary exhibitions showcasing Scottish heritage and contemporary art.
Located at 1-7 Abbot Street, the library opens Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00, with extended hours on Thursday and weekend schedules.
The archaeological excavation in 2013 revealed medieval foundations and a 16th-century tile beneath the current library structure.
