Providence Public Library

PPL remains closed today in observance of Memorial Day. 🇺🇸 We will reopen on Tuesday with the Library’s regular hours.

This historical photo is part of our digital collections and can be seen at ProvLibDigital.org. Follow us on Instagram to see the postcard version!

Join PPL tomorrow at 5:30 pm in the gallery for the grand opening of Lo Que Trajimos – What We Brought With Us. This exhibition by Teen Creative Fellowship artist Adaliz Rivera, a high school junior, explores personal and community stories connected to the Dominican residents of Providence.

Through research, hand built sculptural installations, sound, and storytelling, Adaliz honors Dominican culture, migration, memory, and the meaning of finding home. Each piece invites visitors to reflect on identity, belonging, and the stories we carry with us.

Celebrate the artist, experience the exhibition, and support youth creativity in our community. All are welcome.
