The Friends of Smith Hill Community Library is reinvigorated as is the entire library system now that all the neighborhood libraries are under the new management of the Providence Community Libraries.

There had never been a better time to join the Friends Group.   The level of your involvement is completely up to you.  All we are asking for is $5 a year membership fee and for permission to keep you informed about library news.  Now that the PPL has been phased out of community library management, the specter of library cuts are no longer.  However, now management is truly in the hands of the community and we need strong library supports and leaders.

Our group has regular meeting where we identify library needs and attempt to fill these gaps. Currently, we maintain several periodicals which have been dropped from this year’s budgets. Below is a list of magazines and sponsors. Please contact Alan Gunther or Althea Graves to become a library Friend or to sponsor a magazine subscription. You can mail checks made out to “Friends of Smith Hill Branch Library”, to the Library Branch located at 31 Candace St., Providence 02908.

Current Library Friends – Please join and become part of something very important to the community. If you are a Library Friend and are not on this list, please contact the administrator.
