Donate
Our name says “public” but in fact, only a fraction of our budget is town-funded; the majority must be raised from private contributions. That means we need your support to help us help our community! Please consider making a donation with your credit card now. Just click on the "DONATE" link. We are facing a deficit of over $60,000 in the coming year and have been forced to cut staff and some materials... so your generosity is much appreciated. Thanks for supporting the Hyannis Public Library.......where some of the best writing begins with your check!

Used Book Shop
Hours are Tuesday - Saturday 11:15 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Each bargain book you buy helps fund your Library's daily operating costs... thank you!
