The Logan County District Library is a public library system that serves communities throughout Logan County, Ohio, United States.
The system's central library, which is also its oldest and largest branch, is the Knowlton Library, located along Main Street (U.S. Route 68) in downtown Bellefontaine. The Knowlton Library was named for Austin Eldon Knowlton, for whom the school of architecture at Ohio State University is also named.
Although the current structure was only completed in 1994, the library has occupied a location in downtown Bellefontaine since its founding in 1901. From 1905 until 1994, the library occupied premises at the intersection of Main Street and Sandusky Avenue (U.S. Route 68 and State Route 47), just south of its current location. Construction of that library building, which is now occupied by Logan County agencies, was financed by Andrew Carnegie.
