📖 About Medway Public Library

Medway is a historic Norfolk County town on the Charles River, incorporated in 1713, whose textile mills once supplied cloth nationally.

The library is a full member of the Minuteman Library Network, giving cardholders borrowing rights and digital access across 40+ member institutions. Its email address — medway@minlib.net — reflects that deep integration. Programs range from adult game nights and escape room activities to children's storytimes and teen events.
