The Library chartered in 1921, It was initially located on the second floor of the Pawling Firehouse. Today, the Pawling Library occupies two buildings: a main library and an annex. The main building was acquired in 1963, expanded in 1973, and renovated in 2002. More recently, the Library acquired the “Yellow House” next door, and currently uses this building as its annex for library programs and meetings.
