Livermore Carnegie Library and Park

Livermore Carnegie Library stands at the center of Carnegie Park, showcasing Greek Ionic columns and a pedimented central portico on 3rd Street. The stone building with classical design now contains exhibition spaces and historical collections.

The building opened in 1911 with funding from the Carnegie Foundation and served as the city's main public library until 1966. After its library years, it was converted into a local history museum.

The building now houses the Livermore Heritage Guild History Center and Museum, preserving local heritage and hosting art exhibitions. Visitors experience both the region's past and contemporary creative works within the same space.

The surrounding Carnegie Park hosts weekly farmers markets where visitors can purchase local produce and enjoy music performances. The location works well for a relaxing outing with easy access to green space and year-round activities.

The original 1911 fountain still runs near the building entrance, accompanied by a sundial and street lamps. These elements were donated by The Livermore Herald newspaper and remain visible reminders of the park's early days.
