Summer movies

Posted on July 2, 2015 | 1 comment

The library is looking to show movies outdoors at 8PM on Tuesday nights this July and August.  This letter came to the selectmen from the new Director –

June 25, 2015

Board of Selectmen Town Hall
459 Main Street
Medfield MA 02052

Dear Selectmen,

I am writing to request the use of the Town Green (near Gazebo) for showing outdoor family movies as part of the library’s programming this summer. Through the Friend’s of the Medfield Public Library, we were able to purchase a large, inflatable screen that can be set up and taken down easily. The movies to be shown will only be rated G or PG and the showings will be free to the public, with popcorn provided by the library.  A staff member will be present during the entire showing of the movie and the library will be responsible for taking down the equipment and cleaning up the area.

I have shown outdoor movies at my previous library and they are a great hit, offering a kind of drive-in appeal, with kids coming in their pajamas with their sleeping bags!

We are considering showing the movies on Tuesday evenings, beginning at 8:00 pm throughout July and August.

If you need any more information, please let me know. Thank you for your consideration.

Warmest Regards,

/Kristen M. Chin/
Library Director
Medfield Memorial Public Library

Per Kris –

As a reminder, the Town House will close at 4:30 on Thursday, July 2nd and will be closed on Friday July 3rd for the holiday. The Medfield Transfer Station will be CLOSED on Saturday, July 4th.

Anyone want to start work on a July 4th parade for next year?

MSH survey

Posted on July 1, 2015 | Comments Off on MSH survey

Get on board the town’s information two-way highway by taking the first of series of  surveys this summer about the reuse of the former Medfield State Hospital site that the MSH/MPC has put out –

What is Your Vision?

Specifically the purpose of these surveys is to:

  • Ensure that a broad range of ideas are considered
  • Provide opportunity for public input from individuals unable to attend public meetings
  • Provide opportunity to gather input from residents in neighboring towns.
  • Understand community preferences for various uses in shaping alternatives for consideration in a public meeting on September 16th

The surveys are intended to be short and easy to complete. Initially the questions will be broad, but will become more focused in subsequent surveys as we refine alternatives. Those who complete the survey will be able to see how their answers compare to the other respondents……so it should be interesting.

Share the link with your friends, family and neighbors. The first survey will remain open through July 12, 2015.

We thank everyone who participates for taking a few minutes of your time to make your voice heard.
