Library MaterialsWhat can you check out at Cotuit Library? Well, other than books, we have magazines, DVDs of movies and TV shows, music on CD, audiobooks and even telescopes! If you can't find it on our shelves or in the CLAMS catalog, ask our staff about an inter-library loan. You can also access a tremendous amount of information from online reference books and databases.

Laptops for KidzThis program is run by the Masonic Angel Foundation
The Mission: For today’s school children, a home computer is an essential educational tool. Children who do not have access to a computer outside of school hours suffer more and more of a disadvantage the further they progress through the grade levels. Local businesses and individuals donate gently used laptop computers to the Masonic Angel Foundation, Inc.. The Laptop for KidZ Project’s volunteer staff refurbish the computers and make them ready for distribution to schools through the Masonic Angel Foundation’s partners in local school systems. The Cotuit Library's Role: We are a collection center for the donated laptops. Your Role: Bring in your used laptops (personal and/or business) to the Library, and the Angel Foundation will take it from there. Read the article below for a peek into the program's success!
