Monroe Carnegie Library, Carnegie library in Bloomington, US.

Monroe Carnegie Library is a Beaux-Arts-style building in Bloomington with limestone walls, arched windows, and a distinctive entrance topped by a pagoda-shaped roof on East 6th Street. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and now houses research facilities and regional history exhibits.

The building was constructed in 1917 with funding from Andrew Carnegie and served as Bloomington's main library until 1970. The move of the collection to a new facility ended its role as the city's public library.

The building reflects early 20th-century construction methods and is now home to the Monroe County Historical Society. Visitors can explore local collections that document the region's past.

The building is located at 202 East 6th Street and operates as a history center with research resources available to visitors. Its central downtown location is easily accessible on foot and offers good views of the surrounding local architecture.

The library stands on the site of Center School, the earlier school that gave the location its place in local education history. The building itself opened in 1917 as a Carnegie library, built with a $31,000 Carnegie Foundation grant, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
