About the Wellfleet Public Library
The Wellfleet Public Library is part of the CLAMS (Cape Libraries Automated Materials Sharing) Network, a non-profit, cooperative association of libraries on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket.
- Patrons are required to have a valid CLAMS card.
- Come to the library and fill out a form to receive your CLAMS card.
- Your card is free of charge. If you lose your card, you can get a replacement for $1.00
- Three years from the time you first register you will be asked to update your information (phone number, address, etc.).
You may use your card in all 37 CLAMS member libraries to check out books, DVDs, and other materials, seek information, do research, or just browse.
With some exceptions, books have a 2 week loan period and DVDs have a 1 week loan period. Most materials can be renewed unless the title is on a reserve list.
Library cards may also be issued to local institutions, teachers, homebound or out of state residents. Visit the library for more information.
Children's cards: a parent or guardian must sign the library registration form and accompany the child to the library when registering for a library card. Children must be able to sign their name in order to get a card.
