The Wessington Springs Carnegie Library is a Carnegie library in Wessington Springs, South Dakota, built in 1917–18. It is Prairie School in style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]

It was designed by architect F. C. W. Kuehn, of Huron, South Dakota, in "brown brick in a simplistic Prairie style. This block shape building features a low horizontal design, overhanging hip roof, and geometric decorative designs."[2]

It has also been known as Wessington Springs Public Library.[2]

In 1999 it was one of eight Carnegie libraries in South Dakota still being used as a library.[2]
