About this Exploration: The Downs Carnegie Library can boast that it is one of only two Carnegie Libraries in Kansas not built in a county seat. It is also one of the two smallest in Kansas. Word was received from Mr. Carnegie's secretary on Feb. 14, 1905 that $5,000 had been designated for the town's library building. The local Library Association had been organized several years earlier by Mrs. Edward Allen. Today the library is active in providing the community with not only book services, but also audio books, downloads, DVDs, and a wide variety of children's activities.
