This Carnegie Public Library opened at 826 Broadway in October 1904 with a grant of $35,000 from Andrew Carnegie. The book collection contained 1,800 volumes. The Library served at this location until a fire in 1964 forced it to move into temporary quarters at 707 Broadway. The Library was reorganized as the Paducah Area Public Library in 1966 and in 1970 opened in new facilities at 555 Washington St. as the Paducah Public Library. The Fiscal Court formed a Library District in 2000 changing the name to McCracken County Library.

Funded by the people of the community who responded to the call: "Remember the Carnegie"
