Carnegie Library, Public library in El Reno, Oklahoma, United States
The Carnegie Library features classical architecture with a grand entrance, large windows, and traditional reading rooms spread across multiple floors.
Built with a $12,500 grant awarded on November 25, 1903, this library represents Andrew Carnegie's nationwide initiative to establish public educational institutions.
The library emerged from local Women's Clubs efforts to create reading spaces and promote education in Oklahoma's developing communities during the early 1900s.
The building maintains its original function as a public library while preserving historical architectural elements under National Register of Historic Places protection.
The library stands among only nine Carnegie buildings in Oklahoma that continue their original purpose, surviving both the Great Depression and modernization trends.
