A Bit of History Minimize
The people of Edgewater established the Edgewater Free Public Library in 1910; its nucleus was the Edgewater Library Association.

The current library was dedicated in February  1916, a gift from the Andrew Carnegie Corporation. The site was provided by the Borough's citizens.

The Edgewater Free Public Library seeks to meet the informational, educational and recreational needs of the community.
