Feed your inner bookworm by visiting Provincetown Library, a historic place that serves as a national monument. Standing since 1873, Nathan Freeman gave the building as a gift to the town that took a special place in his heart. See the unique nautical style of the library renovation from 1977 that enables both book enthusiasts and learners to experience the peaceful space. Enter the building to see a real live ship inside that completes the library's nautical theme. Climb to the top floor to view the harbor and the city.

We met someone who said we had to check out what is upstairs at the library. We did and it was pretty cool!

Very interesting in that they built a replica of a Schooner in the library, that they literally had to create holes in the ceiling for on the 3rd floor to fit the Masts. Great stop on our walk through town.

It’s worth a visit just for the boat with full sails that stands on second floor! Awesome area for kid on hot days, with lots of pop-up books that are hard to find elsewhere, a play area with clothes for dress up, and a pretend wooden kitchen. Also on second floor, the art and craft area is equipped with a large kids table, kids chairs, and a sink to clean hands and tools. A small nursing area sits right next to it. Computers are available with educational games for kids of different ages. Restrooms are large enough to fit a stroller, and always clean.
