Because it is basically a small, cozy and intimate space, we will have room for our newest materials-adult, children, teen books and DVDs. We will have WiFi and laptops, passport applications, inter-library loan, printing, copying and fax available for public use. We are storing our Library materials at other institutions (schools, other libraries, non-profit groups) and at the Airport Storage. They will not be accessible until we reopen in our expanded space, but, since we will be joining the CLAMS library network, most books will be readily available. |

From the Vineyard Gazette: “I literally feel like we just reached the top of Mount Everest, it is really that kind of thrilling,” said library trustee Dan Waters. “West Tisbury might be a little farm town, but once in a while we rise to some big, defining labor of love as a community. We did this a few years ago with the new ag hall and this time with building a library, and if you think about it those are both gathering places. These are our defining moments as a town.” Selectman Cynthia Mitchell agreed. “The clear winner tonight and the reason voters came to the polls was due to the great work at the library. The library should take great pride in what they’ve done,” she said. http://www.mvtimes.com/marthas-vineyard/article.php?id=10216 http://www.mvtimes.com/marthas-vineyard/article.php?id=10296 http://www.mvgazette.com/article.php?34749 http://www.mvgazette.com/article.php?34748 |

“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.” |

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. |
