• All requests must be made from the card catalog.
• There is NO browsing within the collection.

Requests can also be made by mail or email.

• Please include your full name, mailing address, phone number, and fax number if you have one.
• If appropriate, may we send you photocopies? Copies are $.20 per page or side, the cost of postage, plus a minimum $5.00 handling fee. If yes, up to what amount? $7.00, $10.00, more?
• Please allow time for your request to be processed.
• Due to the amount of time involved in providing research assistance, and in respect for those whose appointment time may be infringed upon, the staff of the Long Island Collection respectfully requests that all communications be made by regular mail or email.
• Email request to lic@easthamptonlibrary.org
