Little Falls Carnegie Library

The Little Falls Carnegie Library is a historic Carnegie library in Little Falls, Minnesota. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 3, 1980, for its architectural significance.

The Little falls library differentiates itself from other Carnegie libraries as it doesn't follow the traditional Neoclassical style, instead following the American Craftsman style under architect Fremont D. Orff. The library was granted on March 14, 1902, and opened on February 7, 1905. It is still open and serves as a library today, as part of the Great River Regional Library. Of the 66 Carnegie libraries built in Minnesota, it is one of the 50 still standing and one of the 23 to still function as a library.
