Carnegie Gallery

The Carnegie Gallery features borrowed works on a bi-monthly basis. Past exhibits have featured Susan Kare, Bob Gruen, Wayne White, the Picasso Estate Collection, and Eric Carle.

Designed by Randlett and Griffin of Concord, New Hampshire, the Carnegie Gallery is named after philanthropist Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919), for generously donating funds for the library's construction in 1903. The building is a Georgian Revival-style structure built of red brick with a granite base, white brick trimming, copper cornices and finials, and a slate roof. The Carnegie Gallery, located at the top of the library's beautiful double staircase, is flooded with natural light and features birch flooring and cypress panel and finishing.
