Carnegie Library, Public library in Guthrie, Oklahoma, United States.
The Carnegie Library stands at 406 East Oklahoma Avenue, featuring a Second Renaissance Revival design with a brick and stone structure spanning 60 feet by 20 feet.
Constructed in 1901 with a $26,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie, this building served as Guthrie's main library until 1972 before becoming part of the Oklahoma Territorial Museum.
The library's central rotunda, with its 20-foot diameter dome rising 50 feet high, hosted significant events including the 1906 inauguration of the last territorial governor.
The building contains dedicated spaces for reading, book storage, and club meetings, operating now as a component of the Oklahoma Territorial Museum complex.
This structure remains the second Carnegie-funded library built in Oklahoma and maintains its position as the oldest surviving Carnegie library in the state.
