Summary

In February 1902 the library board and the city council of Grand Island proposed a new public library. In April a $20,000 grant was obtained from Andrew Carnegie. Designed by the architectural firm of Tyler and Son of Lincoln, Nebraska, the library is a notable example of the Neo-Classical Revival style.
