The Rockland Public Library, located in Rockland, Maine, was built during 1903-1904. The library, owned and operated by the City of Rockland, is located in a historic Carnegie building.

In July of 1910, President William Taft gave a speech to a large audience assembled on the library lawn. In 1915, the building was wired for electricity. The library was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for its architecture, by George Albert Clough in partnership with Wardner.

The library is one of the only libraries in Maine designated as a "Star Library" by Library Journal.^[1]
