Carnegie Public Library
A 1902 Carnegie library and architectural landmark with extensive local-history material and historic East Liverpool photographs.
A doorway into local memory
Carnegie Public Library is both a working community library and a rewarding stop for visitors interested in East Liverpool’s past. Its local-history and genealogy resources help connect the city’s photographs, families and streets with the larger pottery story. The library’s own history also explains how residents secured Carnegie’s support and created a lasting public resource.
Plan a purposeful visit
If you are tracing a family, a pottery company or a particular building, arrive with names, dates or a photograph to help focus your questions. Ask staff about the relevant local-history resources and arrangements for viewing material. Pair your visit with the nearby Museum of Ceramics or a downtown walk, and check library hours before building an itinerary around research time.
Before you go
- Combine a look at the building with a deeper dive into the local-history collection.
- Contact the library about research materials and access before a dedicated archive visit.
