Programs and Events
****
Please be advised that the Hopkinton Public Library will be CLOSED on Tuesday, November 18th and Wednesday, November 19th. This closure is necessitated by the fact that the main floor of the library is being recarpeted. We sincerely apologize for any problems this may cause. Library staff are available to help you through Monday, November 17th; please plan accordingly. We look forward to opening on Thursday, November 20th with a fresh new look!
