PCL Blog

From March 15 to May 15, Ocean State Libraries cardholders can access Angie Thomas' multi-award winning novel, The Hate U Give, in both eBook and audiobook formats with no holds and wait time.  If you are planning to participate in the statewide reading event, Reading Across Rhode Island, that's good news, because The Hate U Give is this year's designated title!

Join us on June 23 for a chance to #RappelforPCL, descend the 12-story Regency Plaza building in downtown Providence and help PCL raise $100,000 for new materials, technology and programs. Register as an individual or as a team and raise a minumum of $1,000 to go Over the Edge; just think of it as 40 donations of $25 or combinations of other small amounts. Our first registered Edger utilized our fundraising toolkit to raise her minimum in 12 hours from 25 donations! You'll be there before you know it!
