The Chattanooga Public Library (est. 1905) of Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a municipal public library overseen by the city government. As of 1928 it ran the Hamilton County public library. In 2013 it opened a makerspace. The current building, located on Broad Street, opened in 1976 and was designed in the Brutalist fashion, garnering Derthick, Henley & Wilkerson Architects a Gulf States Regional AIA award. The library system was previously known as the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library. The name of the institution was changed back to the Chattanooga Public Library in 2011 as a sales tax agreement between the city and county expired and the library's status reverted to being funded by the city and governed by a board.
A former building of the library system is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Old Library Building. It was a Carnegie library built in 1904. As the city grew and the needs of the population changed, the Carnegie library building was replaced by one on the corner of McCallie Avenue and Douglas Street. In use until 1976 for the library, it is now Fletcher Hall, housing the Gary W. Rollins College of Business, a part of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
