Ramsdell Public Library is one of two public library buildings of Great Barrington, Massachusetts. It is located at 1087 Main Street in the Housatonic village, in a two-story Beaux Arts building erected c. 1908. The building was a gift to the town by T. Ellis Ramsdell, fulfilling a bequest by his father Theodore. It was designed by Boston architects, William McLean and Albert Hayden Wright, with a sympathetic rear addition (added 1928-30) designed by the Pittsfield firm of Harding and Seaver.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[2]

The other branch of the Great Barrington library system is at 231 Main Street.
