Little Free Library

The Little Free Library will be back open for the season on May 11, 2026!

Now in it’s 11th year, the Little Free Library at West Meadow Beach, hosted by Emma Clark Library, is going strong. This “Take a Book, Leave a Book” structure, located under the pavilion at the beach and made from recycled materials, is open for the late Spring and Summer through September.

There’s no need for a library card; visitors are invited to take any books that interest them. These books are donated for the sole purpose of the Little Free Library (books are not owned by Emma Clark – don’t return your library books here!). All guests of the beach – both residents and nonresidents – are welcome to share in this give and take project and to donate and/or take books.

The Library would like to thank the Town of Brookhaven and Nicole Pocciare, Environmental Educator, for their constant support and consent to host the Little Free Library at the beach. Additionally, the Library appreciates the teen and tween volunteers who “adopt” the library each week to ensure that it is neat, undamaged, and well-stocked.

Since 2016, Emma Clark has been enhancing a day at the beach with this delightful exchange of books. The Library is grateful for the amazing community partners and the ability to share, read, and reuse books and encourage a love of reading out into the community.
