Welcome to the Essex Public Library

On Tuesday, May 1^st, at 7 p.m. the Friends of the Essex Public Library kicked off their May Membership Month with a performance of Theater IV’s production “I Have a Dream”. This play chronicles the phenomenal impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life as he became one of the most influential and charismatic leaders of the 20^th century.  His dream of inclusion and brotherhood echoes the philosophy of both the Essex Public Library and the Friends - as you can see in this embracing photograph of some audience members standing with the cast.
