In 1904 Andrew Carnegie donated $10,000 for this limestone library. Town Council agreed to provide a site and to maintain the library at $1,000 a year. J.A. Humphris was the architect, and Robert Clyde, a local stonemason, was the builder. The building, with sturdy Grecian features, Carnegie's preference, was completed in the summer of 1905 and has been in continuous use since. Heritage St. Marys (L.A.C.A.C.) designated it on July 14, 1981.
