Other Info: Perry's commitment to providing a public library is firmly rooted in the history of this community. From humble beginnings in a small reading room in the upper story of a building on the town "square" the Library opened as a public library in 1906. The city of Perry obtained a grant of $10,000 from Mr. Andrew Carnegie to build the current Perry Carnegie Library, which was completed in 1909. We're ready to satisfy your information needs. We still provide books, magazines, and newspapers - but we've added so much more! You can go on the Internet on our computers or use your own laptop with our free Wi-Fi service. Check out books on CD, popular movies, and even music. All this and more is available to you at your local library!
