Montrose Library is located in an A-listed, Carnegie funded, Building on the High Street in Montrose. In 1901, Andrew Carnegie responded to a request to provide funds for a public library in Montrose with the words “I should be very glad to comply with your suggestion and consider it a privilege if Montrose will adopt the Free Libraries Act and provide a suitable site. I will be glad to provide money for the building.” In 2018, it received a £1 million refurbishment which provided it with “flexible, community focused spaces” and this made it the first of its kind in Scotland.
