The Infoage Library is the fourth located at the site.

The first was the 'Electrical Library' located on the second floor of the Marconi Hotel. Here Wireless operators could read books on the latest technology. The Marconi stations also had a inter-library loan system. We have eight volumes from that library.
The second was the King's College Library, located in the same room.
Third was the Camp Evans Classified Technical Publication Library located in building 9032.
Our library is located in the Belmar Station Hotel, soon we hope to return the library to it's original room.

Belmar High Power Wireless Station Electrical Library (1914-1919) , RCA Belmar Station Electrical Library 1919-1923
Thanks to Mr. John Etter, W2ER, of the RCA Riverhead Radio Station we have eight volumes from the Belmar Station Library. When the Belmar Station was closed by RCA around 1923-24, the library was moved to the new Riverhead Station. When the Riverhead Station was close in 1978 Mr. Etter saved selected books discarded from the Riverhead Station Library. In September of 2002 Mr. Etter gave eight books from the original Belmar Station Library to our library.
