We have recently launched a big event series called One Book/One Hopkinton, a community-wide read that centers around Anne Tyler's book, Digging to America. It runs through November 17, and community members can participate by checking out a copy of the book (available here at the Library), attending one of our programs, and/or discussing the book's themes with family and friends. In a town that welcomes and engages with all, we hope that it sparks discussions about who we are as a community, and who we want to be as individuals.

Town of Hopkinton Fills Newly Created Roles to Enhance Library Services; Sustainability, Economic Development, and Equity Initiatives

Town Manager Norman Khumalo is pleased to announce that the Town of Hopkinton has created and filled two new positions within the town to further enhance initiatives and programming.

We are so grateful to our wonderful coalition of adopters, fosters, volunteers, donors, and supporters. The help we receive is truly invaluable! The saying "it takes a village" is so true — since we're 100% volunteer-run, our need for help is always present.
