The Longview Public Library was the third public building built in Longview (after the Monticello Hotel and the railway station), and was funded by R. A. Long himself as a gift to the city at a cost of $150,000, plus $10,000 for books. The Library was dedicated April 26, 1926. It was designed to complement the Monticello Hotel, and other buildings planned to surround the Civic Center which were never built. A major addition was built in 1966 in the same architectural style.
