The Cleo Rogers Memorial Library, also known as the Main Library, is the flagship library of the Bartholomew County Public Library system in Bartholomew County, Indiana, US. It includes a branch in Hope, another branch under construction at the North Christian Church in Columbus, and a bookmobile that serves the county. The building was designed by I. M. Pei & Partners and constructed by Dunlap & Company, completed in 1969, and dedicated in 1971. It is notable for its design of red brick with concrete details and its Library Plaza, an urban space punctuated by the sculpture "Large Arch" by Henry Moore. It is named for Cleo Rogers (1905–1964) who was the county librarian for 28 years and assistant librarian for nine years.
