Everyone is friendly and helpful but they do NOT accept cards for payment (in my case, a late fee). Had to log onto the computer to pay it off which was faulty, and had to try three different computers before I could check out a new book. They have some cute kids activities to choose from, as do the other libraries in RI. We went to a couple story time sessions with the kids which they enjoyed. There is a park across the street from them now which I have not yet checked out, and also another small park up the road. Usually we make a park/library trip at the same time. I like the toys and activities at the Slatersville location better, but this library does have the largest kids area out of all I've been to.

With COVID putting a damper on a lot of things they still offer free craft packets- every Monday for the little's! They also made getting a new library card extremely easy and we're just so friendly and pleasant. I also go here often to print shipping labels and at 10 cents per piece of black and white paper- you can't really beat that! They also still decorate by season and the way the books are grouped- makes it extremely easy! I really just enjoy this library- the overall setup and the very friendly staff! Definitely a place we will be frequenting on the regular!

I visited this library for the first time in many years. I moved out of town along time ago and I…read moreused to come here when my kids were little and it was really nice. My girlfriend still lives in town and she invited me to go to a wreath making class with her. I went and it was so nice. It was free which was surprising and then they also supplied you with wire and they made a bow for me and it was really nice. I brought two big bags of greens from the back of my house because I am not very crafty and didn't know how much I would use but I used a fraction of what I brought. Fortunately we were able to share with each other so I picked out a few other greens that someone had brought and I donated all of mine. The class was fun and the people they were delightful. What a nice place in the community.

I absolutely love this library. It offers so much! The librarians go above and beyond. When I was…read morefinishing a Master's Degree program and was having difficulty with a website where I was supposed to submit my work, one of the librarians worked with me to help me. They have wonderful programs for teens as well. During the pandemic, teens were lost without activities to do and to get them together but the library continued to have zoom programs such as Dungeons and Dragons and craft activities too. I find the librarians to be so flexible in meeting the concerns of the community. Also, I read in a previous post about traffic but they had construction done so now patrons and staff can enter and exit from a side street: Pleasant View and there is a light if you are entering from Putnam to Pleasant. The library is bright, clean and quiet.They have a community garden and many community events. Their calendar is full with events for all ages. The staff work hard to get to know all of the patrons and our families. My husband uses it for the books. I use it mainly for the computers and printing lately though their book clubs are fantastic too! My teen uses it for the teen space, summer reading and has volunteered there as well, reading to younger children. Greenville Public Library is one of the best libraries in our state!

They keep their hold shelf to the left when you walk in. Books are held in alphabetical order by holders last names. The coolest thing? You get to self check out at this library!! I can run in and out within 3 minutes with this process. Saves me money and space that I don't have to give and helps the library stay active. If you sign up for their newsletter, they will email you their monthly events! I've taken a few awesome classes! One we built a terrarium for air plants! There's financial classes, after school classes for kids... everything. And as I was typing this review, Yelp told me i'm the 'Wizard of Words' so I think that means you have to listen to me. :D

Wild women and…read morebooks The first Pascoag library was founded way back in 1871 by a bunch of wild women calling themselves the Pascoag Union Sewing Society. These tempestuous ladies got together 163 books, appointed a librarian, took over some space in a local store and started a library. The library moved around quite a bit during it's early days but finally through numerous fund raisers and private donations the present building was constructed in 1924. The library is still privately owned and operated by the Ladies Pascoag Library Association and governed by the Board of Trustees which is still composed of just women. The first thing you notice when you walk in the door is how small the library is. At the best of times they do manage to squeeze in over 15,000 volumes, some videos, DVD's. periodicals and a couple of computers but it's a tight fit. The library also has various children and adult programs and of course the pert and perky librarians working here are wonderful, pleasant and knowledgeable beyond belief. Even though Pascoag Library is an itty, bitty place, it's about to grow up. The diminutive building is presently under construction and the new room being added to the back will double it's size when completed. Sure everything is a mess right now, with loud banging and sawing, stuff moving around and dust flying everywhere but it's a small price to pay for the additional room. The Pascoag Library still won't exactly be a huge place but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in friendliness and coolness. Those wild and spunky ladies that started it way back in 1871 would be pleased.

Bethany even brought me in the cutest little friendship plant since we often talk about gardening:) sometimes they have crafts that you can pickup and do at home...one spring I got a bunch of free seeds for my garden!

Wanting to hike the North South Trail in Rhode Island, I needed to do a bit of research to map out…read moremy route. There are precious few resources on this through-hike of the state. In fact, there is but one book on the subject and it has long been out of print. Few local libraries even have the book anymore so I was thrilled to find out this location owned a copy. It being the times of COVID, I was pleased to learn this location was not only open... but allowing patrons inside. This is an important point because the reference I was after can only be used in-library. With my mask in tow, I entered the building and was immediately greeted by staff at the front desk. Given this was a special trip to the library for this one book, I was relieved to obtain assistance in locating it. I'm so happy that I did because the staff and I ultimately discovered that the book was part of a special collection under lock and key! Despite there being no tables and chairs set up within the library to peruse my text (due to the pandemic), staff were very accommodating and let me use one of their chairs to conduct my research. As I was there for some time to get all the information I needed, I ended up moving about the space and found several areas to tuck myself away. Lots of natural light... very clean! Everyone was friendly, checked in periodically, but allowed me space and comfort throughout the visit. I'm pleased with the success of my visit and even more impressed with the staff and the modern feel of this library!

Small cramped but…read moretemporary The North Scituate Public Library is presently undergoing some fairly radical upgrades and renovations. A lot more space and more modern facilities will be added to an already pretty cool building. Unfortunately the noisy and intrusive construction necessitates the closing of the building. The last I've heard, the original library isn't scheduled to reopen until the early fall of 2011. Since the town didn't want to be without a library while all the banging, thumping and sawing was going on, they decided to move to a temporary location on Rt 6 in the IGA plaza. A rather dingy, messy and unorganized place that is fortunately only temporary. Lots of the books had to be placed into storage since the new space just wasn't large enough to hold them all and things are obviously scattered about in a ephemeral manner. They staff are still very friendly and helpful and they do have useful research and reference materials as well as recreational reading materials and events but the library definitely lacks the pleasant aesthetics of most libraries. It's basically just a space to hold stuff. Once the original library completes it's surgery and the books and other material go back to there rightful home things should be better than ever. The construction on the building is going well and it looks great. Things right now are a bit chaotic for the library and the poor books look lost and depressed but they know it's only temporary. Things will be better than every in a few months. I suspect it will be worth the wait and the books will be very happy in their cool new home.
