    The children's area is wonderful and the staff are very helpful. My daughter really enjoys her visits to the library.

    This is my favorite library. I just love it, and visit at least twice a month…read more Pros: -10 cents per print - Mac computers (Yes, Dedham libraries have Apple Computers.... So much better than the average PC's at every other library) - Printers that state of the art, and double-side paper! - Never crowded - Cool coupon bin "take a coupon, leave a coupon" - Organized and clean library - Decent variety of DVD's - Decent variety of books, that doesn't make it impossible to find something - For a branch, more than generous hours: Mon, Wed, Thur, Fri and Sat 10-5 and Tuesday 1-9. - Friendly, helpful staff, who are always around and always friendly! (especially Lisa and Pam) - Great atmosphere for the community. I see a lot of the same people, and especially in the senior community, this place gives seniors a great place to go on a regular basis. Love the frequency of the same people who use this place. Cons: Literally NONE. This is a great find in Dedham for anyone in the area to enjoy. Normally I don't say to go out of your way to go somewhere, but I prefer this over my local library by 1000% (the Westwood Library is so bad!). Highly suggested for a Minuteman Library in the Dedham area. Hopefully, Dedham always keeps their branch open, it is such a great and convenient stop. 5 stars for life. Love this place.

    From the owner: The Dedham Public Library began in 1794 when the First Parish Church organized the Social…read moreLibrary.The town minister kept the books in his house, issuing them for circulation only on Mondays. In 1807, the library had 87 volumes; in 1838, 230 volumes; in 1860, 500 volumes. In 1856, the books were moved to the vestry of the First Parish Church and were circulated on Sundays, with Jonathan D. Cobb as the first librarian. In 1860, the library became open to all residents. On November 24, 1854, Dedham residents founded the Dedham Library Association. The new library, which opened February 1, 1855, was housed at 630 High Street, with Dr. Samuel Adams as the new librarian. An act of legislature chartered the present Dedham Public Library on March 24, 1871.

    There's very limited parking, if it's even remotely busy, you will have no place to park your car…read more The librarians are extremely noisy. You can hear their entire conversations, all the time, and despite them working here, they seem to have no clue about their loud voices. Good luck focusing on anything while at the computer terminal as the librarians behind you are in full blast mode seemingly oblivious to the people around them trying to focus, very frustrating. Don't ask for change for the copy machine as the librarian at the front desk became extremely snarky about how the library is not supposed to make any change for anyone at anytime. I was seeking change for a $1 to make some copies, but live and learn... It's doesn't get any better at the front desk of the library where the workers sometimes walk around, being helpful, but again so incredibly loud that you can clearly hear them from the opposite end of the 1st floor. It's not only the librarians that are loud, it's the people in there and the library staff very rarely ask anyone to quiet down. The librarians will go above and beyond to be of assistance, but this library is best off being not visited especially if you hope for a quiet atmosphere.

    As I was picking up my holds on the bottom shelf library, I put a small amount of pressure on the…read moreshelf when I was reaching for my holds and the shelf got dislodged and many of the books fell of the shelf. These shelves are ONLY supported by FOUR clips! After speaking with the director, she said that she would contact the Library Board of Trustees about this the situation,but it would take quite a while to remedy the situation. When advised that the hold bookshelves were not Handicap Accessible, I was informed by the library director that " the new library was HP compliant with our state laws, but not COMPLETELY accesible! This person was very non professional and extremely indignant and rude. Apathetic would be a compliment to her general behavior. The CITIZENS of Sharon deserve a more caring and customer service director. This is not a personal attack. No one likes to be treated with being treated with rudeness, not MEANNESS AND pompous behavior! I think it is time to hire a nes director ASAP new director. Someone who really CARES about their profession and service to our community our. All the other librarians are very customer friendly, knowledgeable, veryhelpful, and make the experience of visiting an enjoyable experience! Maybe they can set an example for our library director. Luckily in this situation " the fish does not stink from the head"

    We are a multiracial family and have experienced multiple incidents of racism living here. We keep…read moreto ourselves now and we don't go out on the town. They're mean and generational and I would urge you to find other towns that are friendlier Jewish communities. We attend a synagogue elsewhere where we have found more normal minded Jewish people. There's something inherently wrong with this town. I have a dear neighbor who is Muslim and has been told my people in this town that she really should not be wearing a hijab. Very inappropriate. Another time, my sister in law who is black got, stared down by a white woman, and when I posted the photo on social media, everyone tried to blame her elderly mindset instead of addressing the racist comments this woman made. Seriously, pick any other town. All you honestly have to do is Google Sharon Massachusetts racism. There was a lawsuit as well as a piece done with about 80 different people.

    One of the best things about Sharon is the annual Independence Day Fireworks display and carnival…read moreat the ever popular Lake Massapoag - great for boating and fishing, light on the swimming due to the muck in the water. Definitely a small town, Sharon has a relatively diverse population (several Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities centers). It also ranks high in gay family friendliness with a welcoming Unitarian Universalist Church right in the center of town. The town center has a post office, two classic New England churches, the town library, two small bank branches, a former-Starbucks-turned-French cafe, and a lot of trees. Also, two restaurants are worth mentioning: Pizzagando in the center of town has some decent NY style pizza, which is rare in New England, and Alice's Mandarin Taste is the best Chinese food outside of Boston, and they offer a gluten free menu, too. Down the road there is also Ward's Berry Farm, a popular local destination for picking your own fruit and picking up a few local organic supplies inside the main building. The Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary and Borderland State Park, each huge reserves of land on opposite sides of Sharon, keep the town quietly nestled away from nearby Rt 95 and the busier parts of neighboring towns: Stoughton, Canton, Easton, Mansfield, Foxboro and Walpole. Despite the quiet life, living in Sharon allows you to be less than 20 min from: IKEA, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Big Y, Shaws, Stop and Shop, Home Depot, Apple Store, British Beer Company, TD Bank, Bank of America, Norwood Hospital, Sharon Veterinary Clinic, gas stations and fast food on Rt 1, and two major movie complexes in Dedham and Foxboro in addition to the local 8 screen movie house (aptly named Sharon 8). There's a parking lot ($4/day or monthly pass) at the Sharon commuter rail station, but a lot of residents just walk using the numerous sidewalks if they live anywhere near the center of town. 20 min later you're in downtown Boston - pretty sweet. Halfway between Boston and Providence, R.I., Sharon was established in 1673. In 2011 Sharon was voted #11 in Money Magazine's Top 100 Places to Live (in the U.S. - not just in MA)
