A wonderful new…read morelibrary I tend to like the old, quaint and historical libraries because most of the new ones tend to be functional and useful boxes built by the lowest bidder. Most certainly do what they were designed to do but have a boring and pedestrian atmosphere. Places to work and not relax. The new Truro Library, built in 1999, shows that it is possible to build a new library with plenty of charm, character and originality. The library holds about 25,000 items, which isn't really a lot, but has many cool open spaces to sit and stretch out and a great soaring ceiling that makes the entire library seem much larger than it is. The librarians were very friendly and explained how the first library was built way back in 1894 and for a long time the town of Truro had two very small libraries. Finally in 1999 the books and materials from the two tiny libraries were combined into this one beautiful facility. Cool local artwork decorates some of the walls and a fine community room is located downstairs. It's nice to see that attractive new libraries are still being built. Perhaps not as opulent and extravagant as some of the incredible structures that were completed at the turn of the century, but still distinctive and captivating enough to be appreciated for a long time to come.

Enriching lives and…read moreeducating children Enriching lives and educating children is one what biography states the purpose of the Eastham Library is. Definitely a pretty accurate description, this is a library that does a lot of things and manages to look really nice doing it. The first library in Eastham was found back in 1878 and like most libraries back then the books were just stuck in the back of the general store. By 1897 the present building was constructed and has served ever since. The present Eastham Library is a small but quaint looking building that looks like it belongs on Cape Cod and blends in very well with it's surroundings. It even has a little model of the real library in the front that would make a nice doghouse for one of the local curs. The library is actually much larger than it seems from the outside and holds 45,000 items. Besides the usually books. magazines, videos, music, computers and puzzles the library also has some great articles on local history, some artifacts and displays and a great genealogy department. A very friendly and accommodating place that attracts, enriches, educates and welcomes visitors from all of New England.

Basement has public bathrooms (which is so nice after walking around all day). This floor also has a small room of books for sales. Lots of great finds if you are looking for vacation reading. Very nice library with multiple quiet areas of that is what you want. Also a reading room for Cape Cod books / information.

The room was set up with a lot of space for people to sit comfortably. I got to ask my question and Bob Mackie even wished me a happy birthday. I don't know how the library got ahold of Bob Mackie and convinced him to come do a book signing, but this was a great event. I'm only in town over the summer but I'm now interested in seeing what other events and opportunities the library has to offer. I might also want to take a look at their book collection and see what they've got and how you can even check one out. I love a good public library and hope to support them and what they do for the community.

As it turned out, we were in Provincetown the following weekend when gay comedian Matteo Lane was appearing. It wasn't cheap, almost $120 for two seats in the balcony. We lined up on the grounds around the historic building and waited about an hour before they let us in. Entering the cavernous hall, I felt like I was in one of those late show movies where the suspicious townsfolk would be listening to a boyish Jimmy Stewart begging for their support for some cause like a new fire engine. Chairs were set up in long rows, and the acoustics were quite good. We could hear Matteo's punchlines pretty clearly from the balcony. The decidedly old-fashioned place really fits the small town vibe even if it's on busy Commercial Street. RELATED - Exploring Provincetown?

I have always gotten balcony seats and it's a great view from up on the second or third floor. The Town Hall is beautiful on the inside and out. They always have the best musicians come whether they're vocalists, pianists, violinists, etc. Sometimes they'll have famous award-winning performers. I always look forward to seeing a performance. They have bathrooms accessible and easy to find as well. After a performance, you'll also more than likely be able to find souvenirs sold by the entrance/exit. They always have the most talented guests come and perform.

The store is not too big, since the real estate and footprint in Provincetown is at premium, but they can get books that you might request and they are happy to ship items all over the country. Cute store, but one thing to notice. The lady behind the counter did not make eye contact with me or any of the people that came into the store during my entire time there. She was busy doing her own thing without lifting her eyes nor without being bothered by customers. Not a good way to convey customer service.

Provincetown is a fun place for tourists of all ages with lots of great places to stay as well as fun boat rides where you can go whale watching, cruise the harbor and just enjoy a few days in a fun town. Based on the traffic along Route 6, I'm sure many people drive there and just enjoy a day of walking around the town, enjoying the great restaurants and shopping. One of the coolest experiences we had was ( believe it or not!) inside the Provincetown Public Library. It's hard to believe it until you see what's on the third floor of the library. There's a replica of the Rose Dorothea, one of the famed " Indian Head" schooners! It was built over a ten year period of time and is something to behold. You might not think that's a reason to go to Provincetown but there are many unique aspects to this lovely town and definitely worth exploring!

Even the art galleries were uncomfortable to go into. Pandemic or not I think we're going to have to find another spot. Yeesh.

The staff person that helped me was exquisite. I'm not sure if she was Annie or if there is an Annie, but in my heart she was Annie. I picked up some Classics including Othello.

This seems quite obvious but I had not thought of that and it was a fantastic idea. Many blessings to Annie and the staff at Annie's bookstore
