The Clayton Public Library, at 116 Walnut St. in Clayton, New Mexico, was built in 1939 as a New Deal construction work. It was designed by Willard C. Kruger in Pueblo Revival architecture. It is now known as the D.D. Monroe Civic Building. It has served historically as a library, as a meeting hall, and as a clubhouse.[1][2]

It was listed as one of the top 10 most endangered historic buildings in New Mexico in 2002.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]

The Albert W. Thompson Memorial Library at 17 Chestnut Street currently serves as Clayton's public library. It holds about 18,000 volumes and circulates about 12,000 annually.[4]
