Yarmouth Town Libraries will encourage a community of readers and learners of all ages by inspiring children to become life long learners and by facilitating continuous learning for adults.

Yarmouth Town Libraries will offer safe, accessible, spaces to give citizens opportunities to meet for conversation, formal and informal gatherings, and programs.
