The Carnegie Free Library of Beaver Falls, also known as Carnegie Free Library, Beaver Falls, was the first public library built in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States. Constructed in 1903, the structure was part of the Carnegie library system created by renowned steel industrialist Andrew Carnegie. As of 2008, the library continues to serve the city of Beaver Falls. In 1971, the Research Center for Beaver County was created, and has had its headquarters located in the library ever since. The Beaver Falls Historical Society also has a small museum located in the basement of the building that explains the history of the area. In 1985, the library was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
