Many of us remember the first library we visited during our childhood. We can picture the sidewalk leading to the entrance, recall whether the building was brick, stone or clapboard and recollect that special “book” smell inside. And many of us remember waiting for that near-magical rite of passage: our own library card. The waiting...

Dover-Sherborn Drama Program is set to perform "Peter and the Starcatcher" - an escapade involving a motley crew of orphans, pirates, mermaids, bloodthirsty islanders, a shipwreck, and magical “starstuff.” With charming silliness and delightful heart, the story follows a parade of slapstick, songs and crazy theatrics. The all-ages play, performed by middle and...

[ccfic caption-text format="plaintext"]

By Laura Drinan Hometown Weekly Reporter The weather outside was certainly frightful as a bomb cyclone brought fourteen inches of snow and frigid temperatures to Dover and Sherborn.

Members of the community who have passed by the library project construction site lately may have spotted what appear to be metal spikes or frames where the addition will stand. This is reinforcing steel (or “rebar”) that will strengthen and provide reinforcement for the structure. With the new footings in place, the project’s general contractor,...
