The Library is a place of lifelong learning. . .

The ACFL&MH is the county's fifth oldest Carnegie Library. The ACFL&MH is distinguished not only by its age and endowment, but by the fact that the town it graces was named for Mr. Carnegie. In 1894, the two boroughs of Mansfield and Chartiers consolidated to become one - Carnegie - in order to encourage the philanthropist to donate a library and high school to the new community. Indeed, while the Carnegie name is internationally associated with libraries and he ultimately went on to build more than 2500 of them, the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall is the only library in the country bearing Mr. Carnegie's first name!

For more than a century, the ACFL&MH has been serving the residents of Carnegie and surrounding communities. Stop and tour our historic building, attend one of our many programs, borrow from our vast collection of

      books,

      movies,

      CDs,

      magazines,

      and audiobooks. You can surf the Internet, or just sit and relax for awhile.
