The Jefferson Carnegie Library is a library in Jefferson, Texas, built with money donated by Scottish-American businessman and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Hallett & Rawson of Des Moines were the architects.〔http://www.jefferson.lib.ia.us/library-information/history2〕 Built in 1907, it is one of four libraries in Texas, from the original 34, to currently operate as a library. ==History== The ladies of the Jefferson Library Association proposed that a restroom be built and that the fees generated by its use pay for library services. Also, a ten-cent tea was planned at the building the library was occupying on Walnut Street, and proceeds were designated for buying a badly needed bookcase for the two hundred volume collection.〔Fred Tarpley, Jefferson: A Riverport to the Southwest, 1983, p.199〕 Both of these ideas did not work, so in 1907, the library association received a grant from Andrew Carnegie for $7,500 to build a library on the condition that the city appropriate a budget for its upkeep.
