What is the Future of Dedham's Libraries?

The Dedham area community is being invited to the Dedham Public Library (Main Branch, 43 Church Street) for a special event, "Future of the Library: Community Rally for Dedham's Libraries!" this Thursday, March 23, 2017, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm. Dedham Public Library's new Director Bonnie Roalsen will share her vision for public library services in the 21st century.

Bonnie is an nationally-acclaimed, award-winning thought leader & speaker on library innovation. Prior to taking her position in Dedham, she helped earn the Town of Dover recognition as one of top-rated libraries in the United States - as well as being named Best Small Library in America Finalist by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Roalsen will share the amazing array of innovations, technology, and rapidly evolving public services now available to Dedham residents. She will also unveil a host of exciting future service plans for the Main library and the Endicott branch - which will put Dedham in the running to be named one of the best libraries in the nation.

Library tours will begin at 6:30 pm featuring a host of exciting upgrades already completed - and even more in progress. Refreshments provided.
