Founded in 1902, the mission of the Chatham Public Library is to nurture a sense of community, past and present, and advance the benefits of lifelong learning. The Chatham Public Library was chartered in 1902 and features weekly storyhours, a local history collection, wi-fi and Internet access, a Large Print fiction collection, circulating passes for area museums, digital books/audio/film and the

Chatham Courier online and on microfilm. The Chatham Central School District operates the library, one of only two public libraries in NYS that are within a school district. The library is home to a beautiful Tiffany window, dedicated to the memory of Dr. John Thorne Wheeler, one of our founders, who appealed to Andrew Carnegie to place a library in our town. The Canaan Branch of the Chatham Public Library was founded in 1895 and specializes in adult fiction and children’s materials.
