The Conway County Library is the public library system of Conway County, Arkansas. The main library is located at 101 West Church Street in downtown Morrilton, Arkansas, the county seat. The library is located in a Classical Revival brick building designed by Thomas Harding and funded in part by a grant from Andrew Carnegie.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] The library organization began as a private collection in 1894, and was housed in private residences and vacant commercial buildings prior to the construction of this building.[2]
