On June 11, 1903, construction was completed on a new Public LIbrary Building, located at 380 North Main Street. The project was funded by a $15,000 grant from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation. The new building housed 15,000 books, and was staffed by a Librarian and two assistants.

In 1912, the Library received a second Carnegie Foundation grant of $10,000, which added two wings to the library building, and doubled its size.
