Cleo Rogers Memorial Library
The ''Cleo Rogers Memorial Library'', also known as the ''Main Library'', is the flagship library of the Bartholomew County Public Library system which includes a branch in Hope, Indiana, and a Bookmobile that serves the county. The building was designed by I. M. Pei & Partners and constructed by Dunlap & Company, completed in 1969, and dedicated in 1971. It is notable for its unique design of red brick with concrete details and its equally unique Library Plaza, an urban space punctuated by the sculpture, "Large Arch" by Henry Moore. It is named for Cleo Rogers (1905-1964) who was the county librarian for 28 years and assistant librarian for nine years.
==History==
In 1899 a library in the county first began occupying two rooms inside the original Columbus City Hall at the southwest corner of Fifth and Franklin Streets.〔 The library's immediate popularity led the community to request funds from the well-known philanthropists, Andrew Carnegie, who was widely known for financing the construction of libraries throughout the United States.
While Columbus has always contained the main branch of the Bartholomew County system, a branch has existed in Hope, Indiana in various locations at the same time. In 1966 a rented space was acquired on the town square and in 1998 a dedicated branch was opened that was designed by Deborah Berke & Partners Architects.
