Paxton Carnegie Public Library
Paxton Carnegie Public Library, Classical Revival library in Paxton, Illinois.
The Paxton Carnegie Public Library features a restored interior with original furnishings, including an oak circulation desk and extensive reading spaces.
Steel magnate Andrew Carnegie provided a $10,000 grant to construct this Classical Revival style building, which opened its doors in 1904.
The library maintains a collection of 26,000 books, 73 adult periodicals, and 10 children's magazines, serving as an educational center for the community.
Residents can access computers, scanners, copiers, and fax services, while also utilizing the drive-up book drop and free Wi-Fi connections.
The library's cornerstone removal during its 2003 centennial celebration involved Alan Turner, grandson of one of the original 1903 stone-layers.
