Happy to Chat bench donated to Rowley Public Library
The Rowley Library has recently installed a new Happy To Chat Bench, donated by the Ipswich-Rowley Rotary. The idea is that anyone sitting on this bench, located by the side entranceway to the Library, would be happy to engage in conversation with anyone else who happens by. The donation, along with others installed at the Ipswich Public Library and elementary schools in the two towns, were inspired by the recent Surgeon General’s Advisory on Social Connection, and the declaration that Loneliness could be a public health concern in our society*.
People are encouraged to make connections at their library!
The Rowley Library is located at 141 Main St. in Rowley.
