Summary
With the construction of the Carnegie Library in 1908, Pawnee City was able to meet the need for a permanent library building in the community. Prior to the construction of the library, a reading room was housed above the National Bank. The construction of the library represented the emergence of community activism by women, for in 1904, the Ladies Library Association began the drive to fund the library, which included many fundraisers and a letter to Carnegie requesting a grant. Additionally, with its Classical Revival style, the Pawnee City Carnegie Library is significant as one of the last libraries built before restrictions were placed on the architectural design of Carnegie libraries.
