Re-purposed as business premises and re-opened in 2019. It also contains a meeting room - formerly the reading room - run by the Friends of Carnegie (Castleton) who campaigned for the refurbishment of the building following its closure as a library in 2007. The library was built in 1905, architect Jesse Horsfall, with a donation of £2,500 from Andrew Carnegie. The restoration was carried out through the co-operation of Nick Crewe of Crewe Industrial Services, local property owners and engineers.
