Providence Public Library Branch Locations

It's a beautiful library with a nice collection of books. They have an area for teenagers and a floor dedicated to children. The basement is for events, meetings and special projects and the computers are on the first floor. The people are nice and helpful although they seem clueless about events. There's not many places to sit but the seats they have are comfortable. They also have a security person that usually sits at the entrance and occasionally circles the premises. The location is clean and organized. Would visit again

Great library to come chill after a long day of work.

An excellent little library with fantastic programs and resources! The staff is helpful, the selection is good, and there are diverse programs with something for everyone!

Nice library but I wish they had more tables and desks for people to sit at. There are only a few and other than those it’s just computer cubicles. Also librarians chat loudly for long periods of time. Love when they have the fill a bag of books for $5 sale downstairs.

The staff are helpful and friendly. The collection is eclectic and regularly updated. If they don't have an item on-site, they can usually get it in quickly. They have a great variety of diverse programs and serve as an exemplary model of what a neighborhood library should be in the 21st century.

Excellent library they do chess tournaments, they have computer to print documents, and they increase my time to operate the computer.

We really love the library. My kids love it. We go more in summer. With school and observant to the Sabbath, Saturday is not and option and Sunday’s they close. They really should be open on Sunday. Thank you to all the volunteers.

Everyone in the library is quiet-except the librarians!!! The circulation desk is so noisy. People renting books and movies at that desk are pretty loud, ok I understand that and it is only for a minute. But besides that, the librarians sitting at that desk DO NOT STOP TALKING and loud too! When people are looking they should be quieter too and perhaps there should be a sign. The librarians, however, are the main issue.

Library and use of it on home computer is great, but this is the LOUDEST library I have ever been in. Right now I'm listening to 2 person talk loudly about China and last time I had to listen to a complete cell phone conversation. This always is the case here and staff does nothing. Good luck trying to concentrate if it's anything important, or even read a book for that matter

I love coming to this library to get out of the house and do some work. Library staff has always been patient, knowledgable, and kind in my experience. I do wish they opened earlier during the week 1pm is simply too late to be of use but I'm glad this resource exists.
