","In 1905 the ""Book Club"" was founded with the purpose of acquiring a Carnegie Library Building for Provo. In 1905 the City Council appointed a board of Trustees for the Provo Free Public Library and Reading Room. The trustees began corresponding with Andrew Carnegie\, a noted philanthropist who funded the construction of hundreds of libraries across the nation. Carnegie funding had several requirements which the Board began working to meet. In October 1905 the Library was given approval to occupy the basement of the Courthouse. On January 2\, 1906 the Library opened with a collection of 1\,425 books donated by individuals in the community. The collection doubled in the next two years\, having 3\,000 volumes by April of 1908. Andrew Carnegie granted $17\,500 for the construction of a new building. Provo City also contributed to the project and land was acquired by the City from Jesse Knight at 15 North 100 East. On December 1\, 1908 the Library moved into a new building provided by a grant of $17\,500 from Andrew Carnegie.
,By 1924 it was noted that ""the institution is greatly in need of more room"". With $59\,000 from the WPA the remodeled and expanded facility opened on July 28\, 1939. The collection then had 27\,827 volumes and 90 magazine subscriptions. An Art Center was located in the basement of the Library which provided art instruction and exhibits. By 1975 the Library had grown to 65\,000 volumes and 125 periodical subscriptions. The expanded and remodeled Carnegie building served the citizens of Provo until 1989.
,The Library moved to a new facility next to the city offices at 425 West Center Street in 1989. Although this facility provided 29\,000 square feet of space\, the Library grew rapidly and soon had inadequate space for either materials or programs.
,In February 1997 a $16 million library bond passed with 58% of the vote. The bond preserved the historic Brigham Young Academy building at 550 North University Avenue\, owned by Provo City\, from demolition. The Brigham Young Academy Foundation raised an additional $5.8 million in donations by June 30\, 1997 for the renovation. Ground was broken on July 9\, 1999 and the dedication occurred on September 8\, 2001.
