The Phelps Community Memorial Library was chartered as an association library by the State of New York in 1973 to the Town of Phelps (population 7,017). It is one of 42 libraries in the Pioneer Library System. One half of the operational monies comes from allocations from the Town, Village and school taxes. The other half comes from grants, donations, memorials, investments, and fundraisers.
