Union's Carnegie Library was given to the citizens of our community in 1912.  It is the only Carnegie Library in Oregon that has not been changed from its historical structure and is still being used as a library.

Our librarian has done a marvelous job of stocking the library with current and useful materials.  We have internet access on a high-speed wireless connection.  There is also a reference section with historical records from Union and its surrounding area.

It is carefully managed and protected by a 5-member Library Board of Union city residents.  Board members are volunteers who are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council.  Each serves a term of 4 years.
