As part of the MOHAI Minute series, the Museum of History & Industry released a short video on Ballard's old Carnegie Library earlier this week.

The Carnegie Library was built in 1904 and was one of the first free public libraries, according to the video.

It became a part of the Seattle Public Library system when Ballard was annexed by the city in 1907.

The library, located at 2026 N.W. Market St., was built by Andrew Carnegie, and the community raised money to buy the property through business donations and the selling of library memberships.

The Carnegie Library, which now houses Carnegie's Restaurant, ended its career as a library in 1963.

The Museum of History & Industry, started in 1952 and located in Montlake, focuses on preserving, sharing and teaching the history of Seattle, the Puget Sound region and the nation.

The MOHAI Minute is a series of quick videos of some of Seattle's most interesting history spots, including Shilshole Avenue.
