The Gates Public Library is an independent town library chartered by the New York State Board of Regents to serve the Town of Gates, New York. The library is governed by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Town of Gates Board. The library is administered by a Library Director and staffed with 7 professional librarians, and additional support staff.

The current Gates Town Hall, Community Center, Police Department, Library and Court Offices are located at 1605 Buffalo Road. The original building completed in 1969 replaced the old town hall (which served the community from 1940-1969) located at 1548 Buffalo Road, and the original library located in the Grange Hall. The complex was expanded in 1985 when the Annex was built to accommodate the needs of an ever expanding senior citizen population. In 2000, the new court facility was added to provide additional operating space and court rooms. In 2004, the new Public Safety Building located on Elmgrove Road was completed to provide needed space for the Gates Ambulance and the Gates Police Department.
