The old Spencer Public Library is a former public library and historic Carnegie library located at Spencer, Owen County, Indiana. It was built in 1912, and is a one-story, three bay, American Craftsman style brick building on a raise basement. It has a low-pitched hipped roof and projecting entry bay. It was constructed with a $10,000 grant provided by the Carnegie Foundation.
The building ceased its function as a public library in 1997. Owen County Heritage & Culture Center occupies the space today. Currently, Owen County Public Library operates the only library branch in Owen County at 10 S. Montgomery St. in Spencer
