The Newnan Carnegie is one of the most historically significant structures in downtown Newnan and was built in 1904. The building served as a library until 1987 and is now a honor system library with adult and children's programs.
The Newnan Carnegie Library is a department of the City of Newnan. The building housed the original Coweta County Library funded by Andrew Carnegie at the request of a local citizen, Charles Thompson.
"The Carnegie provides a central dynamic gathering place that serves residents of all ages and backgrounds as well as community organizations and meeting spaces enhanced by an art gallery. It seeks to be an integral part of the community by offering print and electronic materials, services, and programs to adults and children to enrich daily lives."
