List of Carnegie libraries in Canada

There are a total of 125 public Carnegie libraries in Canada. Of these, the vast majority (111) were built in Ontario. They were constructed and opened from 1903 to 1922. Place names as they were during the grant period are used. In a few cases, Carnegie made multiple donations. An attempt is made to note these and sum the total amount. It addition, one academic library was built for Victoria University in the University of Toronto by architect Henry Sproatt,[1] from a $50,000 grant awarded April 16, 1906.

The Carnegie Corporation informed the city in 1921 that construction must begin by 1922 or they would withdraw their offer. This led to the building construction.
