The South Yarmouth Library Association, which was formed in 1869 and established in the Agreement of Association dated April 4, 1908, is a volunteer non-profit organization with a simple mission: to promote and enhance the services of the South Yarmouth Library and to raise funds to provide materials and programs not covered in the library’s operating budget. It encourages gifts, including materials, endowments, bequests and other support and administers funds already left in trust. With this support, the South Yarmouth Library is able to provide programs such as literacy and musical programs, summer reading programs, story hours, the Sunday Author Series and Yarmouth Reads. In addition, the Association awards the Cecelia Siemen Scholarship in the Visual Arts, funds museum passes, public access computers, library furniture, craft supplies, Staff and Volunteer Appreciation events, and co-sponsors, with West Yarmouth Library Association, the annual Who-ville Express. 

Winter Tales Holiday Stroll, December 11 & 12, 2021, a Success!

Update

Dozens of people from near and far enjoyed a week-end stroll in the Bass River village of Yarmouth, to see beautifully decorated yards and doorways  in search of over a dozen Winter Tales. Thanks to Lesley Callahan for leading the project, with her well-organized stroll committee! Thanks go out to our neighbors at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, for assistance with publicity and with online ticket sales. Thanks to Cookie Colonel Joanne Simoneau and the Cookie Captains for hundreds of homemade cookies. All funds support the SYLA, who in turn, support our community library.
