The Chattanooga Public Library
The Old Library Building, the library's former location

The Chattanooga Public Library (est. 1905) of Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a municipal public library overseen by the city government.[1][2] As of 1928 it ran the Hamilton County public library.[3] In 2013 it opened a makerspace.[4] The current building on Broad Street used to show signage as the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library, having opened in 1976.

A former building of the library system was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Old Library Building. It was a Carnegie library built in 1904. That building was superseded by one on the corner of McCallie Avenue and Douglas Street, in use until 1976, now Fletcher Hall, housing the Gary W. Rollins College of Business, a part of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
