History notes:

The first new Monterey Library building in the 20th century was built at the corner of Van Buren and Franklin streets in 1910-11. It was made possible by a $10,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie's trust fund for "free public libraries", the first of the wealthy steel industrialist's public endowment programs. The building was designed by the Watsonville architect W. H. Weeks, who is responsible for several other structures in Monterey. The building contractor was Robert Trost. When the Monterey Library moved to larger quarters at its current location, in 1952, the Carnegie Building became the initial home of the Monterey Institute of International Studies and is still part of the Institute's complex.
