The FLBM Research Library houses a number of rare complete-set periodicals on boating and boats.  It also contains histories of the local Finger Lake boat builders, how-to boating manuals, published books on a variety of boating topics, and other reference materials.

It is FLBM’s goal for the Research Library to become the main source for Finger Lakes boating information.  Making it user-friendly and welcoming to the researcher is another key goal.
