The Carnegie Library of Moultrie is a historic Carnegie Library on a corner lot in downtown Moultrie, Georgia that was built in 1908.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is located at 39 North Main Street.[1]

It is a two-story red brick building with some Georgian Revival elements. Its brick walls are load-bearing and laid in stretcher bond upon a rusticated cut stone foundation. It has quoins made of the same rusticated granite stone. Its front entrance is flanked by pilasters.[2]

The building was modified in cosmetic ways in 1973 when the building was converted to law offices.[2]

It is one of the oldest public buildings in Moultrie.[2]

It is a contributing building in the NRHP-listed Moultrie Commercial Historic District.

The 1982 NRHP nomination stated that the library's architect was unknown, but the 1994 nomination document for the district lists T.F. Lockwood as the architect.[3]
