Providence Community Library- Since 2009

PCL provides free, accessible library services to improve and enrich the lives of the people of Providence. Our community libraries serve as vibrant hubs within the neighborhoods of Providence, providing programs and services that respond to the needs of the community.

The Friends of Olneyville Library have joined forces with Cluck! Urban Farm and Garden Supply to raise funds and buy replacement items for Olneyville Library, which suffered damage in recent flooding. Everyone is invited to Cluck! on June 13 from 6:00P.M. to 8:00P.M. for a “reverse raffle” where people can bid for the honor of replacing water damaged items. Entry is free and food and entertainment will be supplied by generous local community members. Event sponsors include Cluck! Urban Farm and Garden Supply, Narragansett Beer and Bagel Express on Broadway. (at Olneyville Library)

Many Kids and Teens Can Eat For Free All Summer

Spread the Word About Summer Meals

Don’t let kids go hungry this summer. Just because school is out doesn’t mean they can’t get the same free or reduced-cost meals they rely on during the school year. In fact, any kid or teen 18 and under can eat for free at designated summer meals sites across the country. But too many families don’t know about or don’t take advantage of the program.

Find summer meals in your community. And use these tools to let people know they’re available.
