The '''Clarinda Carnegie Library''', now known as the '''Clarinda Carnegie Art Museum''', is a historic building located in [[Clarinda, Iowa]], United States.  The Clarinda Public Library was organized in 1905.   The library board applied for a grant from the [[Carnegie Corporation of New York]] for $15,000 on February 21, 1907.<ref name=Carnegie>{{cite web|url=http://clip.grad.uiowa.edu/clarinda-public-library|title=Carnegie Libraries of Iowa Project-Clarinda Public Library|accessdate=2016-02-10|publisher=University of Iowa|author=}}</ref>  W.W. Welch was the architect of the [[Carnegie library]] building that was dedicated on April 15, 1909.  In time the building became too small.  The Lied Foundation of [[Las Vegas]] donated $1 million towards a new facility, and a special election held in October 2002 allowed the city to borrow the same amount for a new building. Groundbreaking for the new building took place on May 28, 2003, and the new Lied Public Library was opened on October 11, 2004.  The old library building has been transformed into an art museum, and it was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2014.<ref name=nris/>
