Sidney Public Library is a public library located in Sidney, Nebraska. It was built in 1913, following a $6,500 donation from the Carnegie Corporation,[3] and it opened to the public in 1917.[4][5] Designed in the Tudor Revival architectural style, including a grotesque on each side of the main entrance,[2] it was one of only 46 Carnegie libraries in Nebraska, and it was the first library in Cheyenne County.[5]
In 1966, the library was moved to a different building and the Cheyenne County Chamber of Commerce took over the original structure,[6]
On July 3, 1991 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
