The Hopkinton Public Library Foundation hosted the annual Touch a Truck event this past weekend at Hopkinton High School. A huge turnout was on hand to enjoy the trucks, some good food and have a good time to support the Hopkinton Public Library.

Hopkinton Public Library Foundation’s Touch-A-Truck and Food Truck Festival is back! The event will take place rain or shine on Saturday, June 10, 2023, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., at the Hopkinton High School Parking Lot. This event has something for all ages!
On March 22, 2023, The American Library Association (ALA) released data that showed there had been 1,269 demands to censor library books in 2022. That is the highest number of recorded demands for removal since ALA began compiling data about censorship over 20 years ago.
2,571 unique titles were targeted, a 38% increase from the 1,858 unique titles targeted in 2021. Perhaps not surprisingly, of those titles, the vast majority were written by or about people of color and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

We have scheduled 8-weeks of creative classes in Ceramics, Dance, Movie-Making, Music, Theater, and Visual Art. Plus, students can expect to spend lots of time outdoors enjoying the fresh air and time with friends. In addition, student favorites, such as Saturday Morning Dance and Rock Band, and ESL Summer Stock Jr., will be back this summer. (Learn more at the bottom of this email!)
