On September 12, 2011, it was officially reopened as the Carnegie Learning Center used by Kingston High School and the community.

[2] The library building sits on a 11,250-square-foot (1,045 m2) lot on the south side of Broadway, slightly raised from street level.

Limestone bands also go around the building at both the lower end of the brick and the top level of the fenestration.

A staircase with a Craftsman-style bannister leads up to the main floor, where there are remnants of a cast iron mezzanine for book stacks.

It was housed in a room in City Hall, but within three years of the library's establishment it had already outgrown it.

Local steamboat magnate Samuel Coykendall donated the land, provided the trustees raise money for its purchase through subscription.

In 2009 school district voters approved a $3.6 million proposal to rehabilitate the library building into an arts and technology center.
