The library is now open for limited
in-person services!
Yes! You can come in and browse!
Here's some things to know before visiting us:
You are required to wear a face covering and adhere to physical distancing protocol if you visit us. There will be time and capacity limits so you may have a wait to enter the building. Library staff will be stationed at the front entrance to monitor the number of people in the building. You will be able to pick up your item holds at the checkout desk. You do not need an appointment for this service. Curbside pickup appointments will still be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays by calling 401-767-4126. Limited browsing will be available in some areas of the library such as fiction, large print, DVDs and other media, the young adult collection, and the children's fiction area.
Notary and photocopying services will be offered as walk-in services. Computer use is in the reference area and by appointment only. The teen and children’s computers are not available for use at this time. You are allowed one sign-on per day for 30 minutes maximum. You must speak directly with a reference librarian to set up and confirm a computer use appointment by calling 401-767-4124. Self-service faxing is available by credit or debit card payment only.

Conservatives are warning Republican Mike Johnson against raising the threshold required to trigger the procedure to oust the House speaker. Johnson was involved in a tense exchange on the House floor today with a group of conservatives calling on him to assure them he would not raise the threshold on the motion to vacate. Johnson refused to commit, frustrating lawmakers like Florida Republican Matt Gaetz, who later told reporters doing so would likely kick off an effort to remove Johnson.
