Summary edit

Description

In 1917, philanthropist Andrew Carnegie donated $35,000 to build a library in Fremont, but budget issues and World War I delayed the project. The site cost $10,000, most of which was raised by the local Business Men's Club and Fremont residents who held rummage sales, dances, card parties and street fairs.

The new, two-level branch, which was designed by city architect Daniel R. Huntington, opened July 27, 1921.

The renovated Fremont Branch, 731 N. 35th St., opened April 16, 2005. It was the 14th project completed under the "Libraries for All" building program.
