Library History
Hauppauge Public Library was established on October 3, 2000, thanks to the vision and determination of a small group of residents from the Town of Islip portion of Hauppauge who believed their community deserved a library of its own.

Library History Booklet
To mark our 20th anniversary, we documented the library's journey in a special booklet, "Hauppauge Public Library – Our Formation and the First 20 Years." This comprehensive history was created through interviews with current and former trustees, staff, and community members. Our staff carefully selected photos from the library's archives to bring the story to life.
The booklet is dedicated to the residents of the Hauppauge Public Library district – past, present, and future residents, its founders, staff and all who have helped support the mission of the library.
