Bringing Literature, Music, Art, Science & the Humanities to our Community
Our mission extends far beyond most traditional lending libraries. Pequot Library is housed in a historic building, framed by a Great Lawn, and located on over three acres in the charming village of Southport in Fairfield, CT. A small gem to be discovered, Pequot Library is a vibrant programming library where patrons arrive for high-impact cultural events and leave enriched and inspired.
Experience award-winning, professional musical performances in the prized acoustic of the auditorium/concert hall (which is perhaps the finest performance venue of its size in the region) and discover distinctive exhibitions in The Perkin Gallery. We integrate Pequot’s nationally significant Special Collections, local artists’ work, and renowned traveling displays from partnering institutions, on display free and open to everyone. Enjoy stimulating public programs: Meet best-selling Authors, explore important Issues of the Day with recognized experts, and view thought- provoking films and documentaries. More than 19,750 individuals of all ages are educated and entertained by over 400 programs each year.
Pequot Library Brings Culture to Life!
Patrons flock to Pequot Library from all over Fairfield, Southport, Westport, Easton, Weston, and since Pequot Library is a destination library, people of all ages come from Bridgeport, Trumbull, Stratford, Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Monroe, New Haven and beyond. During a five-day period we tracked 21 different zip codes of people visiting Pequot Library and participating in programs. For our Summer Book Sale book lovers and book sellers travel from as far away as California, and all the other 50 states.
