TOWN HALL MEETING The Future of Learning One of City of Quincy's Newest Elected School Committee's Member Elected in 2025 and Sworn in January 2026 "TOM LEUNG", Presented this very informative and extremely helpful information about the Rules of Artificial Intelligence in the Quincy School System and what Software and Rules the Quincy Student uses and what it Records about them! Their parents have yet to be asked what they want for their child to use in the School System. This night was dedicated to all Patents, Educators, Students, Neighbors and anyone who might want to participate and understand what "A.I." Can Do and Will Do! This Open Forum that Tom Leung has worked hard to shine a light on "A.I., to inspire questions and concerns about "AI", in the Cities School System. With sharing questions and ideas and maybe get some clarity on A.I. Tom Leung, was instrumental in contacting and bringing to this A.I. Forum and to his audience last night, a well known Quincy Resident and Chair of the Policy Committee for the AMERICAN SOCIETY For A.I., RUSS WILCOX with 20 years experience in this field! A Policy Maker for Heads of State, talked and discussed to all of us with facts and data shown on wide screen to highlight the importance of "A.I.", and its implications and importance! Mr. Wilcox has shown with his demonstration how this technology in the hands of our children what it can do! His enthusiasm and his passion to make all of us learn from his own experiences and teachings were immeasurable. Watching him interact with the audience especially from a very intelligent 12 year old who asked a question. She impressed me so much by her knowledge of A.I., since she already has incorporated and knows more about A.I. than myself. I noticed that it put a huge smile on Russ Wilcox's face! These children are our future and for them to grasp and learn what A.I. can and will do, will continue to change the world! The Forum lasted almost two hours but the long lasting information that Russ Wilcox gave to the audience will last forever! A big "Thank You", to Quincy School Committee Member, TOM LEUNG! "Thank you", to Russ Wilcox for his in-depth dive into the World of A.I. Let's Start a Conversation!

There are also two silent study rooms that you can reserve as well. Also, the free wifi was a plus! This library had a children's area in the basement and the adult collection is located on the first and second floor. It's really neat how the place is a mix of old and new, with the new modern addition. With the large glass windows, you can really get a great view of the town!! The library staff were kind and helpful as well. A very enjoyable stop.

After returning back to Hyde Park I maintained residency in Hyde Park because I love this city. I am a full-time college student and a single parent of two. I love the children's floor they have and I am at the library a minimum of three times a week and for hours on end each visit. Today while reading and taking notes there was a young woman and man who I believe work here that were talking at the circulation desk. At this point I have been here for about 2 and a half hours and they have been there taking the while time. A woman walks in looking for a book she left here the night before. As it turns out she couldn't check the book out for whatever reason and the librarian on duty told her she would hold it for her for the next day. That specific librarian was on her lunch break and the younger woman "barely" looked for the book before she told the patron she couldn't find it. The patron seemed agitated not fully understanding the situation, in my opinion. The patron kept repeating, "she said she would eave it for me". The younger woman said she is on her lunch break come back in a hour and the patron repeated her previous statement. The younger woman then said, "well I don't know what to tell you I can't find it. She will be back in a hour from lunch come back then". As a social worker I was appalled by the treatment that this patron received at the library today. It appeared in my opinion that the patron may have had some cognitive delays and couldn't understand why they couldn't just reach out to the librarian in question and ask her where the book was. Without a second thought the younger woman went right back into her conversation while I sat at my computer in awe. This will not stop me from coming to this library but if I had a closer option for me and my children I would leave this branch and never look back.

The Kennedy Family loved the ocean and sailing and what a way to memorialize JFK! I had to go back because there is so much to learn and absorb in one time! I meticulously going exhibit by exhibit to learn and understand this Presidency! I know they change exhibits and add others and today was the 250th Birthday of the DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE, which I wanted to re-read once again! So, if you take your time and sit and watch the many movies they have and marvel at the Medals and Gifts and all the photos of the 1960's as President and the outfits Jacqueline Kennedy on display will show you her slim look and exquisite style ! Go and spend a day there and browse and stop at the Cafe and have Coffee overlooking the harbor and airport! Pick up a souvenir and take lots of photos!

Clinton's was great, and I am looking forward to Obama's very much. I just think this might have been one of the first and they just weren't saving all the good stuff to show off in a museum. (First lady dresses, fan mail, etc) That said, it was a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon. and easy to get to by T and shuttle bus.

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.

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.

This was on my to-do list, but I have to say that irrespective of the historical significance of…read morethe Adams family, the visitor experience was a bit underwhelming. GPS navigation took me to the site of the Adams family home, which was apparently a mistake. The visitor center is in a random building in the urban area a ten or fifteen minute walk away. The parking situation is dicey at either end, with the actual historical site having limited street parking surrounded by signed resident-only spaces. The general plan is to go to the visitor center first, because you need to go there for a ticket to do the tour anyway. You then can walk or take a shuttle bus to the site, which yields a brief detour to some other buildings that aren't open for visitation at the moment but which are being worked on. The tour itself was a quick run of the multilayered historic house and a stone library. It only lasted a half hour or so and there wasn't a ton of depth. If you didn't know a lot about John Adams (and co), you still wouldn't after this. It is free with an annual National Parks pass, but I wouldn't have paid a lot of money for it in isolation. I find the choice to have an offsite visitor center strange, and between that and the limited tour, I didn't feel like it was an efficient or worthwhile experience compared to other presidential history sites I've visited.
