Dr. Henshall, mayor of Osborne, wrote to Andrew Carnegie, who approved a gift of $6,000, for a library building January 12, 1912. Construction began in October 1912 and the library opened July 11, 1913. When the library collection outgrew the Carnegie building, construction on the current library began in 1994. This building was built thanks to the generous donation of O.C. and Beryl McFadden. The McFaddens provided the seed money of $300,000, with the remainder of the funds originating from community support. The 6,500 square foot building was dedicated in March 1995 and currently houses a collection of approximately 22,000 items. Programming is offered for all ages of patrons, as well as public computers, free Wi-Fi, and offers services including, coping, microfilm printing, scanning, and laminating. Funding for the library is provided by City of Osborne tax dollars, motor vehicle monies from Osborne County, the Central Kansas Library System, and state aid. The library also sees income from library fees, grants, donations and memorial monies.​ Learn More More More Learn More Learn More Advantage Archives About Advantage Archives Why Partner With Advantage?
