A Nod to the Past
True no one goes to the traditional library anymore but this one is a reminder of the past when such things existed. This library is in a historic building and surprisingly has a boat inside one of the upper floors. Rumor has it there are books too.

Such a fun place to visit.
The upcycling of an old church into the Provincetown Library is truly a sight to see. The addition of modern amenities, woven into the historic building, is very well done. The story of the building’s history is well told with wall plaques throughout. The one half scale replica of the Rose Dorothea, a Grand Banks fishing schooner, on the second floor spurs the imagination of young and old and really ties to the history of the town. The household appliances ‘lender’ area is such a great idea and yet another way libraries are places that help bind a community together.

A surprise awaits inside
I always bring company to the Library. No, we are not all bookworms. On the second floor is one of the most amazing ship models you will ever see, a one-half scale replica of the fishing schooner Rose Dorothea (it's HUGE). It was built by a local guy and it always delights even the most jaded visitor. Also, right across the street is a house with the most amazing stone work and sculptures, but you will have to see for yourself.
