TOUR
More than just a place to borrow books, the Southport Memorial Library serves as a vital community center — a gathering place for residents of all ages.
It offers programming for children and adults, access to technology, quiet space for reading and study, and a welcoming atmosphere for conversation and connection. As the library of Southport Central School, it also plays a key role in supporting local education, offering resources that enrich the curriculum and encourage lifelong learning.
​
Whether it is your first time visiting, or your fortieth, there are always new things to find at Southport Memorial Library!
Great Room
This room is home to our extraordinary Butterfly Collection which was generously gifted to the Southport Memorial Library by Stanley F. Marr. It also acts as our meeting space for coffee group & book clubs etc. Our large Print books can be found here, along with Science Fiction and our Tenggren & Rachel Carson Collections.
Mystery Room
Walk to your left and you will enter our Mystery Room which (no surprise) is home to our vast collection of mystery books. We also have a large selection of jigsaws of various difficulty here and there is usually one out on the main table being worked on.
Piano Room
Feel free to sit down in our comfortable seating and enjoy our grand piano. We host musical events here throughout the year. CD’s & Audio books are nearby. This room also houses our Bayberry Collection, Young Adult and Graphic Novel section.
Children's Room
Whether you are coming in with the little one’s for Wednesday Storytime during the Summer, or looking to create something on our 3d printer - we’ve got you covered. We also have more than enough building blocks, stuffies, dress up clothes, tea sets & crafts to occupy small hands for an hour or two on a rainy day!
