The official opening of Montrose Public Library took place on 19 October 1905. It was opened by Scots born American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) who gave £7500 towards the construction. Architecturally described as a "union of the picturesque and graceful with dignity and solidity". http://www.angus.gov.uk/history/features/buildings/2005-10-montroselibrary.htm
