The Carnegie Library of Reims is a public library in Reims, France, built in the 1920s with funds donated by American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie following World War I. Designed by architect Max Sainsaulieu in the Art Deco style, the building served as the city's principal library until 2003. Reims was one of only three "front-line" cities—alongside Leuven and Belgrade—to receive a Carnegie library, reflecting the philanthropist's commitment to rebuilding war-damaged communities. The library's Art Deco interior decoration, harmonious proportions, and elegant architecture earned it designation as a French monument historique. The building embodied a dual mission of heritage conservation and public reading access.
