About Huntington Public Library
Description:
History
:
Since
1995,
the
Huntington
Public
Library
has
enjoyed
a
tremendous
increase
in
circulation.
It
has
been
the
recipient
of
numerous
donations
of
books
and
materials,
volunteer
efforts,
and
diverse

grants
for
books
and
programs.
Founded
in
1976,
the
Huntington
Public
Library
had
its
origins
in
the
Lower
Village
when
a
resident
with
small
children
recognized
the
need
for
a
town
library.
The
old
one-room
Town
Clerk¿¿¿s
Office
was
stocked
with
books
from
private
donations
and
through
the
State
Department
of
Libraries.
The
Library,
run
solely
by
volunteers,
was
open
Mondays
2:30-4.
In
the
1980s,
with
increased
hours,
more
residents
began
to
visit
the
"little
gem"
on
the
Town
Green.
A
children¿¿¿s
collection
was
created
in
the
vault
at
the
back
of
the
building.
Unfortunately,
the
Library
was
closed
for
18
months
due
to
vandalism
to
the
building.
The
trustees
reopened
the
Library
in
1994
when
the
collection
was
moved
by
volunteers
to
the
first
floor
of
the
Huntington
Town
Hall.
A
year
later,
the
Library
had
its
first
paid
staff
member
who
directed
both
the
collection
and
related
programs.
With
grant
moneys
and
donations
and
through
an
appropriation
in
the
Town¿¿¿s
budget,
the
number
of
books
available
for
readers
of
all
ages
increased
dramatically.
Programs
held
at
the
Library
were
well
attended.
Another
renaissance
was
underway!
Then,
disaster
struck!
Mold
in
the
Town
Hall
caused
by
leaking
pipes
forced
the
Library
to
close
once
again,
thwarting
the
momentum
in
the
circulation
and
programs
and
the
Library¿¿¿s
visibility.
The
Library
was
able
to
be
open
for
the
summer
months
in
a
temporary
setting
at
Brewster
Pierce
Memorial
School
and
subsequently
reopened
in
the
recently
renovated
Fuller
House.
