Our Story

In 1923, the Memorial Library Association, Inc. of Dennis was formed for the purpose of building and maintaining a library for the benefit of the people in the Village of Dennis. When the original building was completed in 1924, it was dedicated as a memorial to Dennis veterans of World War I.

We are a private library open to the public and over the past 100 years, the library has expanded its building and increased its services several times to reflect Dennis' growing populations and library needs. Our 2005 beautiful 3,600 square foot addition allows us to continue to blend traditional library services with the technology of the future.

Today, the Dennis Memorial Library is a proud partner in the Dennis library system and CLAMS network. We are in the heart of Dennis Village, a vibrant community continuing a long tradition as a center of cultural picturesque and seaside attractions. The Dennis Memorial Library serves not only families, students, young children, and retirees of Dennis, but also continually offers library services to both year-round and summer residents, visitors, and foreign students. We offer 24/7 WiFi, e-materials, copier, fax and scanner, and 5 public computers.

We welcome you to our library as a new or old friend and encourage you to ask for assistance so that we can make your library experience as pleasant as possible.
