At Your Service

In her 1976 History of the Eastham Public Library,  Helen B. Schwind wrote that the library was "Created by townspeople out of a desire to enrich their lives, and to aid in educating their children." The "creation" took place at a town meeting on February 11, 1878, when $175 was appropriated for a library.  more

What do you geek?

Everyone has something they are passionate about –something they geek. Maybe you geek football, barbeque or even the weather.

Whatever you geek, serious or fun, the library supports you.

Eastham Public Library inspires and empowers. With internet access, knowledgeable staff, and local programs, we are an important resource for the community. For millions of Americans the public library is their only access to essential resources they need to improve their lives. For many the library is not a luxury, it is a necessity. We need to preserve this resource to keep it current and useful to the community.

So please, share what you geek. Share what your library does for you and your community. And spread the word that the library needs everyone’s support. To learn more visit geekthelibrary.org.

Eastham awarded $4,331,923 provisional construction grant

Eastham has successfully met all criteria in the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners recent construction grant round. At this time there is only sufficient money to fund eight projects . We are thirteenth on the wait list to receive funds when they become available.

The library Trustees and Building Committee will be meeting to learn more about the evaluation in September.

The successful grant application and town meeting vote are both significant milestones toward Eastham's expanded library with improved access, meeting room and environmentally sound operating systems.
