Dedham Reads Together is a collaborative annual initiative presented by Dedham Public Library, Dedham Public Schools, Dedham Library Innovation Team, and now the Friends of the Library, to promote literacy and community in Dedham, MA through shared reads and activities.

Find Dedham Reads Together 2024: Museums All Around Us book lists for kids, teens, and adults curated by DPL staff members and DPS school librarians in our catalog. 

Don’t miss our displays at both DPL locations: there’s themed reads and information about our community partners at the Main Library, as well as a mineral collection at the Endicott Branch Library!

Check out one of our 19 museum passes, generously sponsored by The Friends of Dedham Library, for discounts to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, MFA, Museum of Science, NE Aquarium, the Peabody Essex Museum, Zoo NE, and many more MA parks and attractions!

The 2024 Dedham Reads brochure can be found here, it includes links to book lists, museum passes, and information for all programs including the author's night with Patrick Bringley.
