History:
East Haven’s first library was established in 1909 in a cloakroom in Town Hall. The current library building was erected in 1928 thanks to the generosity of Mr. Isaac Hagaman. An addition to the original structure was completed in 1975. The Hagaman Memorial Library now serves the East Haven community with a collection exceeding 70,000 volumes. Materials for preschoolers through adults fill its shelves. Access to magazine articles and books available throughout the state is made possible through indexes and online networks. Patrons are able to access the Internet free of charge at more than a dozen public access PCs. Circulation exceeds 139,000 items per year.
