- Early Charter Years, 1901 to 1914: The Smith-Bailey-Canfield-Early Carnegie Era (Centennial Research Digest: PML History in Summary Form, Part II), by Mark Rothenberg (Patchogue-Medford Library. [Celia M. Hastings] Local History Room; PML Centennial Collection)
- Patchogue Library Bookplate (1904). (Patchogue-Medford Library. Celia M. Hastings Local History Room) - Found in A Handbook of Oratory, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time, William Vincent Byers, ed. St. Louis; Chicago: Ferd. P. Kaiser, 1901. Very likely donated to the Library by Edwin Bailey, Sr. The bookplate describes borrowing policies and hours in the earliest days of the public library; quite different, and far more restrictive, than today.
