Provincetown Public Library

Provincetown Public Library Review

Occupying a beautifully restored and redesigned church, this library has a steeple you can see from all over the Outer Cape. You can also check out The Rose Dorothea, a half-scale replica of an early 1900s fishing schooner that was built by some 15 Provincetown fishermen and woodworkers as a tribute to the town's rich nautical heritage. The 62-foot-long boat has ingeniously been built into the library's second floor. Architecturally, this is one of the town's most striking and distinctive buildings, but it's also a great cultural resource, hosting children's storytelling on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, educational workshops, and other community events. There's also a children's room with computers, books, and educational resources.
