The West Falmouth Library The West Falmouth Library is a resource built by and for its community: from its humble beginning as a club for sharing books and cultural education, it grew into a well-loved non-profit whose programs and fundraisers draw audiences year after year. Check out our oral history interview with Charlie McCaffrey, former president of the Library Board, to learn about the philosophy behind those events, and the ways in which the library preserves the past for the future. Postcards from Falmouth is a local history project of Falmouth Public Library, funded by a LSTA grant and administered by the MBLC.
