The Beatrice City Library, at 220 N. 5th St. in Beatrice, Nebraska, was built in 1902-03 and was opened on January 1, 1904. [2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. [1]

Designed by architect George A. Berlinghof, who was then based in Beatrice, it is Beaux Arts in style. [2]

The library's creation was the culmination of effort by the Beatrice Literary Club, founded in 1890, which built upon efforts by the local Woman's Christian Temperance Union group which established a circulating library. [2]
