In 1905, a group of Dodge City residents asked philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to fund a library building for the city. Carnegie responded with a grant of $7500; construction of a building at the downtown intersection of 2nd and Spruce began in 1906, and the library opened in February 1907. It remained in the Carnegie building until 1970.[4] In 1979, the building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.[5] In 1981, the Dodge City Arts Council obtained funds to preserve the building, operating it as the Carnegie Art Center.[6][7]

The library moved to its current facility in 1981.[8]

Other city libraries

Other libraries in the city include the DCCC Library, which holds more than 30,000 volumes and serves as a federal depository library, and the Kansas Heritage Center, a non-profit resource center and research library operated by Dodge City Public Schools dedicated to the history of Kansas, the Great Plains, and the Old West.[9][10][11]
