How to borrow a bookOne Suffolk card works at every branch, and summer renters can get one too.
  • Every public library on the East End is part of the Suffolk Cooperative Library System (SCLS) — one card works at any of them and items can be delivered between branches.
  • Year-round residents and homeowners get a free card with a photo ID plus proof of address (utility bill, tax bill, or signed lease). Summer renters can usually get a card too: bring your lease and ID to the circulation desk and most libraries will issue a temporary card the same day.
  • Most Suffolk libraries are now fee-free — no overdue fines — and every one offers free Libby (ebooks + audiobooks), Hoopla, and digital NYT / WSJ access. If you’re visiting and thinking “I’m just here for the summer, I can’t use the library” — you can. Most visitors just don’t realize it.

East Hampton · 1 library

A ca. 1915 Frances Benjamin Johnston photograph, titled by the Library of Congress "East Hampton Free Library, 159 Main Street, East Hampton, New York. Entrance" — the post sign standing in the frame itself reads "EAST HAMPTON FREE LIBRARY," byte-identical to this record's address. Historic, not current — the building has since been expanded — used because no free-licensed modern exterior of it exists on Commons.
