About Us
Mission: 

Bringing literature, music, art, science, and the humanities to our community, our mission extends far beyond most traditional lending libraries. Pequot Library is housed in an historic building, framed by a Great Lawn, and located on more than 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 visitors of all ages arrive for high-impact cultural events and leave enriched and inspired.

Programs: 

Our robust calendar of events includes musical performances, exhibitions, lectures, and a wide range of cultural, educational, and community events. We integrate our Special Collections of rare books, manuscripts, and archives into our day-to-day services to the community through exhibitions, programs, and hands-on classes and workshops.

Why Work For Us?: 

Pequot Library is a dynamic cultural beacon. We serve readers of all ages with a circulating collection of over 116,000 books, audiobooks, and DVDs. Our dynamic calendar of first-rate arts and literary programs and events educates and entertains a broad audience.

We curate multiple exhibitions during the year that highlight and explore rare books, manuscripts, and archives from our Special Collections of approximately 30,000+ items.

In conjunction with our exhibitions, we organize guided tours and educational programs for K-12 students throughout the area, including Fairfield and Bridgeport.
