The '''Madison Carnegie Library''' or '''Madison Public Library''', located at 401 Sixth Avenue, [[Madison, Minnesota|Madison]], in the [[United States|U.S.]] state of [[Minnesota]] is a public library building built in 1905 of brick with limestone trim. Its characteristic features include a columned and pedimented main entrance and a small polygonal dome on its flat roof. The structure was built with an $8,000 grant from [[Andrew Carnegie]]. This was one of over 3,000 libraries in 47 states funded by Carnegie. Local residents gave an additional $1,000 in gifts and books at its dedication on January 22, 1906. Gerhard Herriges, a contractor for public buildings in Western Minnesota, built the building for $6,216.85.<ref>{{cite web|title=Notes from the Ottawa Room |publisher=Ottawa Public Library |url=http://www.biblioottawalibrary.ca/connect/research/local/carnegie_library_e.html |accessdate=2007-10-16 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080325231751/http://www.biblioottawalibrary.ca/connect/research/local/carnegie_library_e.html |archivedate=2008-03-25 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| title =History| publisher =Madison Library| date =2003-04-29| url =http://www.madisonlibrary.info/| accessdate =2007-11-13}}</ref><br />
