The Fairbury Public Library is a library in Fairbury, Nebraska. Its building was constructed in 1908-09 as a Carnegie library with funding from the Carnegie Corporation.[1] It was designed in the Classical Revival style by Tyler and Son, an architectural firm co-founded by English-born James Tyler and his son, James Tyler Jr.[1] The facade includes two sets of columns and a tympanum with "cherubs holding a ring which encircles a shield."[1] The first 100 books were donated by the Fairbury Woman's Club.[1] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1985, as Fairbury Public-Carnegie Library.
In 2019, it continues to serve as the Fairbury Public Library.[2]
