Our downtown library is warm and inviting with a floating wooden staircase. With dedicated areas by age including children, teens, and adults, and a dedicated space for genealogy and local history, it offers our deepest collections and frequently hosts opportunities to learn or socialize in group settings. Built in 1966, KHCPL Main was fully renovated in 2010 but stands in the same spot where the original Carnegie library was constructed in 1905. Whether shopping, dining, or working out, combine your trip downtown with a library visit so you can get your own library card, borrow physical or digital materials, hop on our wi-fi, or take advantage of our programs and classes.
