The Hyannis Public Library Association was established in 1865 by Mrs. Rosella Ford Baxter and 14 women. In 1908, a classic Cape Cod house dating to about 1750, with lovely grounds, was purchased for library use for $2,500 from James Otis of Hyannis Port. Ora Adams Hinckley served as librarian from 1909 to 1943. The Eagleston Addition was added in 1939, and the Twombly Wing in 1974.
