Edward Gorey Collection
Several years ago Yarmouth Port Library was given a collection of the works of Edward Gorey by the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust. These items, along with the materials we already owned and other items we subsequently purchased, were gathered together in the library in a special collection, which is unique in the CLAMS system.
Also unique is our pass to the Edward Gorey House museum, just around the corner from the YPL, which allows visitors reduced admission to the museum. Edward Gorey, author, illustrator, collaborator, playwright, and animal rights activist, lived in Yarmouth Port full-time from 1983 until his death in 2000. Come in and learn more about this unique one-time neighbor of the library.
