Osgood Library - Main Branch

The Osgood Public Library was started by members of the Osgood Entre Nous Club in 1911. The original library was housed in one room. Osgood is noted as having the first public library in the county. A couple of years later the library received a grant from the Carnegie Foundation and in August of 1914 the building was dedicated. In 2006 a major renovation of the Carnegie Library and a 4,086 foot addition was dedicated. This project was funded in part by the Reynolds Foundation and the Rising Sun Community Foundation.

CARNEGIE ROOM

The beautifully renovated Carnegie Room is used for several purposes. Our nonfiction collection as well as our media collection is housed in the area. We also have peaceful and inviting seating areas where one can read the local, state, or national news or just get comfortable with a good book.
