This is the only operating Carnegie library in Massachusetts that carries the title in its name.  It might also be the only library to have a mounted moose on the wall of the children's area. This building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.  Information was supplied by the Carnegie Public Library.   The moose photo was taken in March 2009.
