McCartney Library is an academic library located on the campus of Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, USA. The building is named after the influential evangelical minister Dr. Clarence E. Macartney who grew up in Fern Cliffe House when the college moved to Beaver Falls in 1880.

The structure was built in 1930, and then expanded in 1965. The library features stained glass windows in two of the reading rooms. One of the windows depicts John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, and the other, John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Today, the library consists of more than 400,000 articles and materials available to students and professors.^[1] There is also an online database for the library, along with a media center. The library also houses priceless collections of books on the college, along with many other sources in the Covenanter Collection, the Geneva Author Collection, and Dr. Macartney's private collection.
