The Central Library of Aberdeen in Scotland is located on Rosemount Viaduct and is the main library for the city.

The library is housed in a category C(S) listed building.[1][2] It cost £10,000 to build and was publicly funded through local campaigning that began in 1889. It was opened 5 July 1892 by Andrew Carnegie after he and his wife contributed £2000 to the construction process.

The library contains large collections of local maps, over 15,000 photographs, birth and death records and a collection of local newspapers. Much of the library's stock is held on microfilm.
