Suggest a Program

Thank you for your interest in presenting a program at Medfield Public Library!

In an effort to support community interests and showcase local talents, the library welcomes applications from members of the public interested in presenting programs at Medfield Library.

Programs should be the presenter’s original content and reflect topics of interest to the community. All programs must be offered free of charge to the public. Fundraising and advertising is not allowed in the library. Please submit proposals at least four to six weeks before the proposed program date.

To propose a program, please email the required info (listed below contact list) to the appropriate department head based on the intended age group of the program. If we feel that the program would work at the Medfield Library, we will be in touch. Please note that the decision of the staff is final. Thank you very much for your interest!
