The Calexico Carnegie Library is a Carnegie library located at 420 Heber Ave. in Calexico, Imperial County, CaliforniaHistoryThe library was built in 1918 through a $10,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation; while Calexico had initially requested a $25,000 grant, the Foundation felt that the town's size did not merit the larger amount.The library was designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style and features a tile hip roof and a front entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a scroll. Its original design was more lavish but became simplified due to the Carnegie Foundation's reduced support for the building.The building served as the city's library until 1986, when a new library building opened.The Calexico Carnegie Library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 28, 2005.
