Built in the 1890s, this one-story building is the oldest commercial wood frame structure in Chincoteague.

In 2010, a new wing was added to the library to accommodate its collection and offer more space for patrons to use.

It is primarily supported by private donations and grants from the communities of Accomack County, Virginia.

[2] The library's collection contains current and popular books,[2] magazines, newspapers, and audio-visual materials, including DVDs, audiobooks and CDs.

The library offers a 24-hour wireless internet connection, with computers for patrons to use for email, word processing, and use of the web.
