In 1881, through the munificence of Daniel T. Coit, a public library was established and endowed in Pachaug. The nucleus of the library consisted of a choice collection of most carefully selected standard books. Its home from the first has been in the Coit Chapel, an annex of the Pachaug meetinghouse, which was also a gift from Dr. Coit. Provisions for the care of the library and for the regular purchase of new books, and magazines, was made by an endowment of $3,000, the interest of which is used for these purposes.

The Library, well patronized and appreciated, no longer exists but at one time was a great source of instruction and enjoyment to a wide circle of patrons.
