It’s all good!

We have been fortunate to have earned several grants lately, and we’d like to share our good news with you! The library has been awarded a Rhode Island Legislative Grant to help subsidize the library programming expenses as we continue to create and  schedule events designed to serve both adults and children.  We’d like to extend our appreciation to Senator Bridget Valverde of East Greenwich for aiding us in procuring this funding.

In addition to this legislative grant, the library has been awarded a Summer Reading Mini-Grant through the Office of Library and Information Services to be used towards expanding our programming for all ages over the summer.

AND WHAT’S COMING UP

Here at the library, we are looking ahead to the end of the school year and a summer full of fun! Besides our usual full complement of books, videos, computer access and research assistance, we are joining forces with the East Greenwich’s Community Services Department to create some safe outdoor fun for this summer. More details will be available soon. Also, the Children’s Department is hard at work redesigning the Children’s Room.  While we have certainly missed having the space open to the public, we look forward to welcoming children back in the near future better than before.  

So, call us, come in, send an email – we really want to hear from you!
