A library with a…read more porch Wellfleet is a pleasant little town on Cape Cod. It's typical of many Cape Cod towns with beautiful beaches, great dunes, open ocean and a unique charm. So it's quite appropriate that the town has a beautiful and unique library. The library is actually quite new and the books weren't moved into the building until 1989. Before that the official Wellfleet Library took a circuitous route that took them into several different locations around town. Seemed the library was always jumping around. The first library started in 1893 when the books were just sort of piled in the back of the First Congregational Church. Over the years the library took up residence in a bank, dry good stores, town hall and finally an old curtain factory. The poor books certainly had to move around a lot over the years but finally have found a permanent home. The present library is a wonderful place. The first thing that catches the eye is the huge porch. A great place to sit outside and read, talk to friends or just relax. The inside has over 10,000 square feet and separates into several rooms which makes it a convenient place to hold meetings, events and displays. Of course the library has all the usually amenities of a modern library and helpful and extremely pleasant and friendly librarians but it's the cool, rustic and unique charm and great porch that makes this library special. It took a century to find it's permanent home but I suspect that the library is going to be in this spot for a long, long time.

But none of those were here at the Sandwich Public Library. Instead, I spent two hours here working this morning. I found a comfy spot with power outlets and a corner where I could work and take a quiet Zoom meeting as the fog burned off and my morning of remote work progressed.

The next hundred…read moreyears Back in 1909 Sophia and William Weston decided their small Cape Cod town needed a library so they generously donated enough money to have the land purchased and structure built. A few changes and additions have been added over the years but the basic library is still doing what the Westons envisioned. The library is located in the center of town and frequently has arts and craft shows and other events on the grounds. In the spring the lawn is blooming with flowers and trees and is a beautiful place to stop and admire. The original building is rather square and stout and looks like it will last for another thousand years. Unfortunately the additions look like after thoughts and although useful don't really blend with the original structure. The inside of the library has all the usual modern library conveniences and is definitely a useful place for some reading or research. Lots of local history and genealogy is available combined with some very knowledgeable people. There are also lots of cozy places to sit and interesting things to look at. In June the Library had an event that celebrated the dedication ceremony that was held back in June 17, 1911. It seems likely that the library will be having another celebration one hundred years from now.

A wonderful new…read morelibrary I tend to like the old, quaint and historical libraries because most of the new ones tend to be functional and useful boxes built by the lowest bidder. Most certainly do what they were designed to do but have a boring and pedestrian atmosphere. Places to work and not relax. The new Truro Library, built in 1999, shows that it is possible to build a new library with plenty of charm, character and originality. The library holds about 25,000 items, which isn't really a lot, but has many cool open spaces to sit and stretch out and a great soaring ceiling that makes the entire library seem much larger than it is. The librarians were very friendly and explained how the first library was built way back in 1894 and for a long time the town of Truro had two very small libraries. Finally in 1999 the books and materials from the two tiny libraries were combined into this one beautiful facility. Cool local artwork decorates some of the walls and a fine community room is located downstairs. It's nice to see that attractive new libraries are still being built. Perhaps not as opulent and extravagant as some of the incredible structures that were completed at the turn of the century, but still distinctive and captivating enough to be appreciated for a long time to come.
