History
When the hotel which contained St. Cloud's reading room burned down in 1901, the community sought funding from industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to build a library.[1] They received $25,000 from Carnegie, along with an additional $2,000 from local railroad executive James J. Hill, and the St. Cloud Public Library opened in 1902.[2] In 1969 the library expanded services to become the Great River Regional Library system. The current St. Cloud Public Library was built in 2008.[1]
