NORTH PROVIDENCE – Gone (for now) are the days of spending hours browsing shelves of library books, but that hasn’t stopped staff at the North Providence Union Free Library from getting creative this year to offer new services and programs and to create a consistent brand for the organization.
“Staff has been working really, really well together with new information and insights,” Director Stefanie Blankenship told The North Providence Breeze. “Every department has been phenomenal.”
