The administrators of the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, the Southeastern Massachusetts Library System, the SAILS Library Network, the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth Library, the Dartmouth High School Library, The Dartmouth Library Foundation, and the Friends of the Dartmouth Libraries will all be on hand to provide an overview of the interaction between state, regional, and local library services. The members of the panel will also answer questions from the public.

Library Trustee Paul Pereira interviews Library Director Denise Medeiros on the subject of the April 1, 2008 Election in Dartmouth. Two ballot questions asking for an override of Prop. 2 1/2 pertain directly to the library as well as a debt exclusion question which would fund a new roof, paving the parking lot and a HVAC system for Southworth Library. Denise discusses what the consequences of a yes or no vote will mean, including possible loss of certification, resource-sharing with other libraries, staff layoffs, reduced hours and greatly reduced budget for book buying.
