The West Somerville Branch Library is a historic library at 40 College Avenue in Somerville, Massachusetts, just outside of Davis Square.

The library was built in 1906, opened in May 1909, and was added to the National Historic Register in 1989. It was the first branch library in Somerville. The original funds for building the library were a gift of $25,000 from Andrew Carnegie, the steel baron and philanthropist. The Boston architectural firm of McLean and Wright designed the building in a neoclassical style derived from the Beaux-Arts architecture of the day.^[2] It is currently part of the Minuteman Library Network system.
