The Board of Trustees has passed a Special Collections Policy to govern use of the library's Local History Collections. We are trying to meet the rising demand for local information while ensuring the safety of these valuable materials.

As of January 2006, you must register at the library to use the Local History Collections. Registration is fast and simple. For more information about how to register and use the collections, please read our Special Collections Policy or call the library at (401) 647-5133. Copies are also available at the Reference Desk.
