Join us at the Main Library for our LGBTQ+ Book Group! Each month we will read a title featuring characters/people, themes, or subjects that fall under the broader LGBTQ+ umbrella.
The Main Library is located on Church Street in Dedham Square. In addition to traditional library material, the Main Library also houses town archives, the Dedham Collection.
The first Dedham Public Library opened on February 20, 1872 and was located in a rented room over Thomas J. Baker’s store on the corner of Court and Norfolk Streets. Francis M. Mann, a long-time member of the Library Association, was appointed as the librarian.
