Wellfleet Public Library

The Friends of the Wellfleet Library

The Friends of the Wellfleet Libraries was founded in 1968 as an organization dedicated to enhancing the cultural life of the community; stimulating the use of library resources and services; encouraging gifts, and bequests; developing library facilities; and supporting the freedom to read as expressed in the American Library Association Bill of Rights. Our main sources of income are members' contributions, bequests, donations, the annual summer book sales, and the summer Distinguished Speaker Programs.  Donations of your used books are also greatly appreciated.

The Friends support of the Library
The Friends contributed $45,000 toward furniture, a Steinway piano, a system for exhibiting artwork, and a lectern, projectors, and sound equipment for the meeting room. ~ The Friends committed $20,000 to the implementation of CLAMS. ~ Wellfleet Seminars~ Distinguished Speakers Series~ The Sculpture, Sea Forms, was given jointly by the Friends and the noted sculptor, Gilbert Franklin, who created it. ~ An annual supplement to the library budget that is used for special books and periodicals, children's programs, museum passes, computer purchase and user support, and audio visual materials for documenting the life and times of the community.
