We welcome everyone to enjoy the resources of the Hyannis Public Library, whether they make Cape Cod their year round, or seasonal home. We are especially proud of our outstanding Youth Services department, which supports all children—babies, students, grandchildren, tweens and teens—and their parents and caregivers, with consideration and care.
Our needs are not seasonal, however. Hyannis Public Library is an independent, non-profit organization, not a municipal library—one of seven in the Town of Barnstable. In order to meet the basic needs of an urban community of over 15,000 people, especially one as diverse as Hyannis, we must raise over 25% of our annual operating budget from private donations, grants and fundraisers to supplement the support we receive from the Town of Barnstable.
