Cape Cod Library Club. 1900-1975.

The Cape Cod Library Club, which held its first meeting in 1900, was formed at the mandate of the Massachusetts Library Commission, "which felt that the best way to promote interest in the libraries of the various parts of the state was through library clubs." Miss Elizabeth Nye, Sturgis Library's Librarian, was the Club's first Treasurer. It appears the Club was active well into the 1970's and perhaps longer. At some point in the last decades of the twentieth century the Club evolved into the Cape and Islands Library Association, whose mission is to foster cooperation among libraries, safeguard intellectual freedom, and promote access to information for all residents of Cape Cod and the Islands as well as scholars and others interested in topics with a Cape and Islands connection.
