LIBRARY UPDATE

COVID-19

Out of concern for the health and safety of our patrons, staff and volunteers, the Eastham Public Library building is closed to the public.

The Library staff is offering curbside service and is available to provide services to the public by phone and email. Our delivery system is again operational so you can now request books from other CLAMS libraries to be delivered here in Eastham. Please note everything is a bit slower...

We encourage patrons to use OverDrive eBooks, try our new streaming RB Digital service,  watch a movie via Hoopla, listen to music on freegal, read the online Cape Cod Times or NY Times online, or explore other online services available from the library’s homepage.
