From the Director:

August on Cape Cod is lovely. It is the height of our Summer Reading program for children and teens and then we wind down, in anticipation of the fall. We are enjoying extra Saturday hours at the West Yarmouth Library, which have included programs for children, a Cape Cod book discussion group and a repeat visit from Larry Dapsis on deer tick dangers on Cape Cod coming in September.
