The Colton Carnegie Library is a Carnegie library located at 380 North La Cadena Drive in Colton, California. The library was built in 1908 through a $10,000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation. Architect Franklin P. Burnham designed the Neoclassical building, the only example of the style in Colton. The building features an entrance portico supported by Ionic columns, a frieze and ornamented pediment above the entrance, and pilasters at the corners. In addition to housing the city's collection of over 1,000 books, the library hosted community meetings and social groups and even served as a church. The library moved to a larger building in 1982, and the building now houses the Colton Area Museum.{{cite web|last1=Oulman|first1=Brian|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory - Nomination Form: Carnegie Public Library Building|url={{NRHP url|id=88000894}}|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=April 28, 2015|date=August 13, 1986}} {{NRHP url|id=88000894|title=Accompanied by photos|photos=y}}.
