The Watts Free Library is a historic library located on Third Street in Leonard, North Dakota. It was built in 1911 and dedicated in 1913 with funding from Edgerton Watts. The building includes Stick/Eastlake architecture. The library was closed in 1968 but reopened in 1972. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1][2]

It was the first township library, and perhaps the smallest library, and in perhaps the smallest community to have a library, in the state of North Dakota.[3]
