I saw this unofficial Little Free Library once before and bumped into it again. It is unofficial…read morebecause it does not display the official plaque stating such. In order to be official, it must be registered as such. Once registered, a plaque is sent and prominently displayed in the box. There is typically an organization, who maintains the box. It was still a delight to see.

This is my favorite Little Free Library thus far. It's located in the Garden City Center in…read moreCranston, RI. It's right on the corner where the Madewell store is. It's my favorite because it is the largest LFL I've seen and it's inside of a retro gasoline pump. There were five shelves that were organized and fully stocked. I found some books I've been wanting to read and a classic that I've read before (The Great Gatsby). It's in a great location with plenty of foot traffic. There are plenty of parking in the area. If you're in the area and love books, I recommend you stop and check it out!

This little library was initiated by the Providence Parks and Rec Department. Unfortunately it…read morelooks like it has been used and abused quite a bit. The door has been ripped off and is in need to be repaired. On any given day the selection of books is slim-to-none, mostly on the none side of things. The children really do enjoy the books however they do not seem to return, which is par for the course with a take a book leave a book community. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this location is in desperate need of donors for the book box and anything that you can give child-related books and will be well-loved by the community.

I am amazed by the condition and love that is put into this little free library. This is a…read morelicensed, or certified , Little Free Library, and is marked as so. "A Little Free Library is a "take a book, return a book" free book exchange. They come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common version is a small wooden box of books. Anyone may take a book or bring a book to share." The owner and maintainer is a happy to see you type person, and you may find her peeking out the window with a smile. It is my understanding that she and her son are co-owners. There is a comfy bench to sit on. It is a side street right by Fatima, and it is pretty quiet and well maintained. There is also a fairy garden too. Someone special also leaves stuffed animals with a note on them that reads,"Take me home. I'm yours to keep! Read to me before you sleep." Love, (Tie Dye Monkey), but there have been others like owls, and bears. There is also a visitors book, don't forget to sign and say thank you or hello! Just really a great location to have in the area.

This is a great Little Free Library. I do not believe that it is registered with The Little Free…read moreLibrary organization but non-the-less it is a great addition to the neighborhood. It sits right across the way from Marieville Elementary School on Cooper Street, and it would be wise to park on a side street and walk on over. There is always an abundance of children's selections, they change out more frequently during the school year. There is a cute little bench there as well.

Excellent experience at this laundromat! Clean, excellent customer service, pain free, quick and…read moreeasy! Will refer other business professionals to this location!

Im new to the area. I also haven't done my laundry in a laundramat in 50 years…read more I went to 3 different places. First let me say I dont bother anyone and dont expect special treatment, however, the staff at those 3 places could not care any less. I was not familiar with the 'card'. No one would assist me. I felt so stupid. Then I stopped in at Laundromax. Brenda helped me. She showed me how to do everything. The women there are all so nice. By the way, for 50 years, I did my laundry at home. Now my life has changed. I am a retired nurse of 40 years.

On September 23, I attended a Sublimation Tote Bag Workshop at 5:30 pm at South Providence Library…read more Canvas tote bags, pre-printed images on sublimation paper, scissors, and heat-resistant tape were laid out on the table. There were two options to design the bag: Option A: Make a collage-style tote using pre-printed images and Option B: Create a fully custom tote using your own images (from your phone, the internet, or personal photos). I took a look at the pre-printed images and they were great for my tote bag. Great job to Sarah for picking these images! There were a great variety. After I chose the pre-printed images and created my design on the canvas tote bag, Sarah showed me how to use the heat press machine. The heat press machine needed to warm up to 390 degrees. Sarah also checked the bag to make sure they're clean and didn't have any creases. I first pressed the background on the sublimation paper face down and then I used heat-resistant tape to hold in place the characters face down on top and pressed again. The tote came out great and it didn't take long at all. The Sublimation Tote Bag Workshop at South Providence Library was so much fun and I was able to create my own one-of-a-kind tote bag using the sublimation press. Sarah was a great instructor and very friendly. Only 4 people including myself were doing the workshop. I hope more people attend the workshops in the future. South Providence Library is located on Prairie Ave and it is a two way narrow street. When I arrived about 5:30pm, it was quite busy and I parked about a block away. There is street parking available.

A historic branch…read more Most branch libraries are pretty small and undistinguished, useful but certainly not very interesting or aesthetically appealing. But there are exceptions. The South Providence Branch Library is one of those exceptions. Designed and built by Howe and Rathbone in 1930, the library was actually placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1998. Not one of the grand and stunning libraries that are so common around New England, this library does have it's charms. Nice staircases and lighting and even a fireplace or two, it's obvious that this library isn't just something thrown up by the lowest bidder. Parking can be a be iffy and the building doesn't really stand out from the outside, but this library deserves more than just a casual glance to appreciate it's beauty.
