The Public Library of Enid and Garfield County, founded in 1899, is a public library located in Enid, Oklahoma, the county seat of Garfield County, Oklahoma. The library began as a one room library sponsored by the Enid Study Club in 1899. In 1905, the city of Enid acquired the library, and in 1908 received a grant from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation to build a Carnegie library. The Enid Carnegie Library was a Mission Revival style building designed by A. A. Crowell and built by DC Bass and Sons Construction.〔Buchanan, James Shannon, "Carnegie Libraries", ''Chronicles of Oklahoma: Volume 79'', Oklahoma Historical Society, 2001, pg 461〕 It was located at 402 N. Independence, and was in operation from August 1, 1910 until 1964. Following years of vacancy, the Carnegie library was demolished in 1972, and is now a vacant lot.〔Dyer, Daniel "(Lament for a Library Lost: Enid's Carnegie Public Library, 1910-1972: R.I.P. )"〕 On October 18, 1964, a new Art Deco style building was opened at 120 W. Maine, the library's current location.〔(City of Enid, Oklahoma: Overview )〕 In 2010, the library underwent renovations modeled after the San Jose Public Library System.〔Barron, Robert, "(The San Jose Way: Renovation designed to make Enid's library more user-friendly )", ''Enid News & Eagle'', December 7, 2010〕 ==Gallery== Image:Site of Enid Carnegie Library.jpg|402 N.
