The Melrose Public Library is a historic library at 69 W. Emerson Street in Melrose, Massachusetts. The original T-shaped building was built in 1904, and is a two-story Colonial Revival structure faced in brick with limestone trim. It was built with funds contributed by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to a design by Lynn architect Penn Varney, and features stained glass windows by Wilbur H. Burnham. A modern single story addition was added in 1963 to the rear and left side of the building.{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=mel.85|title=NRHP nomination for Melrose Public Library|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2014-02-26}}
