The Mountain Top Library was originally known as the Haines Falls Free Library and was founded in 1900. It is the mission of The Mountain Top Library to disseminate knowledge through the offering of information and communication services, literature, and history. We strive to facilitate and promote activities designed to expand and improve the quality of library services to our patrons; and to sponsor appropriate events, programs, and activities that will strengthen the library in the advancement of its stated purposes.

Though the library does not possess the majority of the mountain top’s archives, we house an eclectic mix of documents and images that span from the 17th Century to the late 20th Century, highlighting many significant features of the Catskill Region and its unique historical print.

Montauk is considered a beach resort, using its position at the tip of Long Island to promote itself as "The Living End" or "The Last Resort" and become one of the busiest tourist locations within the town of East Hampton. The small town is host to many restaurants, bed and breakfasts, and hotels, and is a popular vacation spot in the warm weather months.

Because of its strategic location, Montauk has been used as an Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force base throughout its history.

Since the days of the Montauk Indians, Montauk's coastal location has played an important role in seafaring life and the history of navigation.

in 1637, the Montauketts sided for their own protection with the English in the Pequot War in Connecticut. In the aftermath the Montauketts were to sell Gardiners Island. In 1648 what would become the Town of Easthampton, was sold to setters by the colonies of Connecticut and New Haven. In 1879, Arthur W. Benson paid $151,000 for 10,000 acres for the east end. The deed releasing claim to Montauk was entered on March 9, 1852. Benson also received clear title to the Montaukett property at Big Reed Pond, buying it from tribesmen for $10 each. In the early 20th Century, Carl G. Fisher bought most of the East End of Long Island. He planned to turn Montauk into the "Miami Beach of the North", a "Tudor village by the sea". His projects included blasting a hole through the freshwater Lake Montauk to access Block Island Sound to replace the shallow Fort Pond Bay as the hamlet's port; establishing the Montauk Yacht Club and the Montauk Downs Golf Course; and building Montauk Manor, a luxury resort hotel.

Montauk is a major tourist destination and has six state parks. It is particularly famous for its fishing, claiming to have more world saltwater fishing records than any other port in the world. Located 20 miles off the Connecticut coast, it is home to the largest commercial and recreational fishing fleet in New York state.

Montauk is located on the eastern end of Long Island, only a couple of hours from New York City and over a hundred miles out into the Atlantic Ocean. All the fish from Long Island Sound and waters of Rhode Island and Massachusetts swim by on their annual migrations.

MVCC was founded as the New York State Institute of Applied Arts & Sciences in Utica, adapting its programs to fit the needs of area industries, allowing students to have a significant and immediate impact on the region. It became a part of the State University System in 1950, and in 1953, was renamed Mohawk Valley Technical Institute, a community college sponsored by Oneida County. Over the next decade, the number and variety of instructional programs continued to grow, and in 1963, the Institute was renamed Mohawk Valley Community College to reflect this shift in emphasis.
MVCC now offers more than 90 associate degree and certificate programs for career and transfer. Partnerships with other colleges in the state are becoming even stronger, allowing students to more easily transfer to four-year institutions.
