Our Ballot Question Forum was well-attended last night and a news segment video about the forum is available to watch on the Channel 10 TV website. We extend a big thank-you to all the participants and to Jim Phillips and crew from WBSM Radio for broadcasting the event live. The local cable access channel DCTV taped the event but a mechanical malfunction prevents it from being shown.

The Dartmouth Public Libraries have been in the news recently now that the North Dartmouth Branch Library has reopened after a year and half of being closed. Residents in the northern part of town have quickly adapted back to picking up holds and returning items at the North Dartmouth Branch Library. The library warmly invites you to join us for an Open House at the branch on October 17th from 5 to 7:00 p.m.
The Dartmouth Library Foundation has also started a new initiative called Bucks for Books: Branching Out which seeks to raise $30,000 to enable ongoing hours at both Southworth and North Dartmouth.
North Dartmouth Hours: M, W, F – 5 to 8 pm, Tues, Thurs – 9 to 1 pm.
