Discover More with Our Brand New Library Website!

Fellow Hopedale residents and knowledge seekers, we're excited to unveil a website as rich in history and possibility as our beloved Bancroft Memorial Library!

A Legacy of Learning

Our library's roots run deep in Hopedale's community spirit. Did you know we started as the Hopedale Community Library way back in 1842, with just 50 remarkable volumes? Today, we've grown into so much more – a testament to our community's enduring love of learning.

And speaking of history, have you seen our treasured Statue of Hope? Donated in 1904 by Susan Preston Draper, wife of General William F. Draper, this iconic statue stands as a symbol of our library's commitment to inspiration and community.
