In the winter of 1872 -73, E. Francis, principal of schools, offered to donate a small sum of donations towards starting a public library or reading room. “The Young Men’s Library Association of Carbondale”, now the Carbondale Public Library, is the oldest in Lackawanna County. In October 1996, a parcel of land on Main Street was donated by the City and the new modern library building was erected at its current location.
