Built in 1927 at the urging of the Women’s Improvement League, the design of the Bradley Beach Library followed guidelines recommended by Andrew Carnegie although the building was not funded by his philanthropy but rather by donations from local citizens.  Located on Fourth Avenue, the Bradley Beach Free Public Library represents the early 20th-century efforts of women’s organizations to promote cultural, educational, religious and social reforms.

In addition to books and online services, the independent Bradley Beach Library offers a variety of programs for patrons of all ages.  A new addition to the rear of the building provides handicapped access.  This building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
