History

The public library in Ironwood was founded in 1892,[3] and was located in the Ironwood City Hall.[4] In 1900, Andrew Carnegie pledged $12,000 to the city of Ironwood to build a new library,[1][5] subject to his usual conditions that the town provide a building site and pledge to maintain the building.[6] Carnegie increased his gift by $5000 in 1901.[5] The building was constructed in 1901 by Archie Donald and Daniel Egan of Ashland, Wisconsin for $17,000.[7] It was the first Carnegie Library built in Michigan.[8] The library was moved into the new building in 1901[4] and the new library was dedicated in January 1902.[9]

Only minor modifications have been made to the building,[1] which still contains the original chairs, tables, and circulation desk.[8]
