Flagg Township Public Library is found in the Ogle County, Illinois city of Rochelle. It is a Carnegie library, designed in 1912 by Madison, Wisconsin architects Claude & Starck. The library, just blocks from the city's downtown district, is one of three Rochelle sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The other two are the William H. Holcomb House, on 7th Street and the City and Town Hall, just down the block from the library. The library joined the National Register on October 25, 1973, the same day as the Holcomb House.
