The Floral Park Public Library opened its doors to the public in January 1923. The Library occupied a succession of rooms in local buildings until 1963 when it moved into the Village Hall. In 1962, title to the former post office was given to the Village and was then renovated and opened as the Floral Park Public Library in December, 1964.

The Library is chartered by the New York State Education Department to serve residents of the Incorporated Village of Floral Park. Funding for library services is provided by the Incorporated Village of Floral Park plus a minor amount of state aid.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, there were 145,236 library visits, and 7,241 residents are registered borrowers. Our total circulation was 106,082 items. A total of 12,062 reference questions were answered. The Library sponsored 111 children's programs attended by 1,644 children. An additional 27 young adult programs were held with 413 people in attendance and 62 adult programs were held with 1,248 people in attendance.
