The Ashland Public Library is a historic building in Ashland, Nebraska. It was built by W.R. Shankland as a Carnegie library in 1911. Besides the $5,500 donation from Andrew Carnegie, its construction had much to do with the Wiggenhorn family: the land was donated by Mr and Mrs Wiggenhorn Jr., and the roof was donated by H. A. Wiggenhorn. The building was designed in the Jacobethan style by Fisher & Lawrie, an architectural firm based in Omaha co-founded by Scottish-born Harry Lawrie and his American counterpart, George L. Fisher. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 27, 1983.
