In 1903, seeking a way to secure adequate funding for the library, the Trustees again approached the [[Wooster Board of Education]]. The Ohio Legislature had passed in 1902 an act that authorized local Boards of Education to collect real estate tax for library purposes. The [[Wooster Board of Education]] agreed to the establishment of a School District Library. The Trustees were now appointed by the [[Wooster Board of Education]].

In 1903, the Trustees asked Mr. James {{Surname|Mullins}}, one of the trustees, to write to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Carnegie Andrew Carnegie] asking for funds for a new building. He did and soon received a reply offering $12,000 for the building project. The Trustees felt that this was insufficient and Mr. Mullins, at their urging, wrote again and asked for $15,000. Mr. Carnegie agreed, with the requirement that Wooster raise $500 a year for the building's maintenance.

The Trustees bought property on the northwest corner of Market and Larwill Streets from John Fawcett {{Surname|Larwill}}. The building was designed by architect Vernon {{Surname|Redding}} of Mansfield and build by John {{Surname|King}} of Galion. The total cost of the project was $23,000 which included: architect's fee of $525, land purchase $4,500, building cost $14,262 and the remainder reported as miscellaneous expenses which included heating, plumbing, furniture, etc. In May 1905 the building was dedicated. Although Carnegie funds were responsible for the construction of the buildings, the library was never designated as a Carnegie Library.
