As part of our year-long 20th anniversary celebration, we are launching a new Dennis Public Library website.

We have been working with our developer since November and have just about completed the work. It will have a new look and, hopefully, be easier to navigate.

Our new website has been made possible by a generous bequest from former Dennis Port resident Olga Noxon. Our sincerest gratitude, Olga!
