WELCOME!

At Town Meeting, and at the polls, West Tisbury overwhelmingly supported the West Tisbury Free Public Library's renovation and expansion — as have private donors every step of the way. WE DID IT! Thanks to you, we'll get our much-needed program room, young adults area, many "green" features, and space for readers of all ages!
The library will move to temporary quarters when construction begins in November of 2012, and will re-open in late 2013. |

“West Tisbury has an extraordinary characteristic, that I don’t believe could be claimed for any other town, that I know of anyway,” he said. “Eighty-nine per cent of the population of West Tisbury has a library card. You can double check that with the librarian.” From the Gazette: "Gracefully Tapping the Keys of History", an interview with David McCullough. |

The West Tisbury Free Public Library is a community and information center that engages a diverse community and connects them to timely, accessible resources through responsive public service in order to: promote the value of reading and self-expression in its young people; promote lifelong learning, independence and individual personal achievement for citizens of all ages; and to provide opportunities for community members to challenge and examine their world and to explore the diversity of other worlds and heritages. |
