The B.F. Jones Memorial Library is a historic library in Aliquippa, a city in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States. Named for steel tycoon Benjamin Franklin Jones, it was built in 1927 with money donated by Jones' daughter.[1]Шаблон:Rp As a product of the profits of the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company, for which Aliquippa was a company town,[2] it resembled a Carnegie library.

Rated a high-quality example of small-scale Renaissance Revival architecture, the two-story library is built primarily of Indiana Limestone with a bronze roof.[1]Шаблон:Rp Among its leading features are multiple plaster casts, windows of stained glass, carvings in imitation of those made by Italian sculptor Andrea della Robbia, and a large statue of Jones.[1]Шаблон:Rp

In 1978, the library was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and for its association with Jones in the development of Aliquippa.[3][1]Шаблон:Rp The library continues in operation to the present day.
