South Providence Library
This library began as a small community library organized by the South Providence Community Club in 1923 and housed in a small room at the Oxford Street Grammar school. Soon afterward, it became part of the Providence Public Library and moved to the Sixth Ward Room on Burnside Street. In 1929, PPL erected a new building for the library on Prairie Avenue near Oxford Street that opened in January of 1930 on property deeded to Providence Public Library. With the opening of the new library building in 1930, the community finally had a substantial library with a separate circulation room, an adult reading room, a children's reading room, and a reference room, as well as shelving for 12,000 books.
