    I was heading home from work and I needed to print something for a family member in the area so I…read morestopped into this library, not knowing what I was getting into. Anyways they do have a little parking lot area, and then you walk down a little walkway and into the building, it is huge and absolutely beautiful on the outside I had no idea this was a LIBRARY! As soon as I walked in I was greeted and the young lady navigated me to where the computer area was so I could print. I found it easily with her help, because I could've got lost this place is huge and every book lovers dream (me). There was a lady at the computer area and she was very sweet she showed me how to print because every library is different. I noticed all ages, races and religions were in this library quietly and getting things done. I love that. I printed what I needed too very easily with no conflict, I was in and out within 10 minutes I liked that. But this place is dreamy, such a huge selection of books and you can easily get lost in here it's so huge. Very clean and neat, they didn't have carts with books that block isles as I have seen in so many other libraries. Loved it here. I will be coming back to just do some self care, the aura and vibes I felt here were great. It's surprisingly quiet even though it was jam packed with people.

    While in Pawtucket, recently, I stopped by the Pawtucket Public Library to check it out. I had…read morenever been inside before, just driven past it many times. The library is a complex of two historical buildings, the Deborah Cook Sayles Public Library and the Gerald S. Burns Building. Both buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1898, Pawtucket's first Mayor, Frederic Clark Sayles offered to give a plot of land on Summer Street for the construction of a free public library. He traveled to Europe, looking for architectural inspiration from Europe's most majestic libraries. The Library is not only distinctive in its architecture, but also in its service. It was one of the first libraries in the country to allow users open access to the library book stacks and one of the first to be open on Sundays, accommodating the many Pawtucket mill workers who worked six days a week. The Sayles Building is an impressive example of Greek revival architecture. Four massive Ionic columns form a portico at the former entrance. The front doorway of this building is an exact replica of the Erechtheion, a Greek temple on the Acropolis at Athens. The panels show a comprehensive view of the world's civilizations. The panels depict scenes from Roman, Grecian, Egyptian, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, and Teutonic civilizations. The Library is known for its decorative ceilings, soaring pillars, and glass-floored North balcony. The Gerald S. Burns Building served as the Pawtucket Post Office from 1896 to the 1940's. A dome tops its round entrance, which is located at the intersection of the streets. In 1982, the renovations of the original United States Post Office building were completed and the Deborah Cook Sayles Public Library was joined with the newly dedicated Gerald S. Burns building to become what is known today as the Pawtucket Public Library. There were lots of people inside using the library and it was very refreshing to see their love of books and learning. A beautiful building for an up-and-coming city in Rhode Island.

    Just when you think the CSPH couldn't get any better... it does. In January they moved to a larger…read morespace within the Grant Building and it. looks. incredible. The library area is very cozy, and all of their toys and educational supplies are neatly organized, making it easy for folks to look around and explore. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any questions. They also have a great collection of antique vibrators which are beautifully displayed. I highly recommend checking out the Center for any and all sexuality/gender/women's studies related things. They have an expansive library and an education staff who can point you in the right direction. They also offer monthly workshops, trivia nights, and other fun events. Always a great place to explore and learn!

    The Center is a great place to learn anything you'd like to know about sexual health, and they even…read moreoffer sex counseling! It's 18+, though, so please keep that in mind if you plan to visit. Megan Andelloux, who runs the Center, is fantastic and will answer absolutely any question you may have. She is really dedicated to keeping this resource open for anyone who wanders in and is not afraid to speak her mind about what she believes. The CSPH is a great addition to The Grant building, and is a great way to put Pawtucket on the map in terms of tourism.
