Reading Into the Future: Local women s club will boost libraries, independent bookstores with new initiative

WASHINGTON COUNTY — When Women’s Club of South County (GFWC) member Suzan Amoruso was brainstorming of a new, charitable activity the volunteer service organization could undertake, she considered a world reshaped by the pandemic and one of the public institutions she enjoys most. “I was trying to think of something contact-less that the club could do and I also love libraries,” said Amoruso. “Then I thought these independent stores are struggling.” Now through the end of the month, GFWC members will purchase sought-after books requested by six local libraries across five Washington County towns and donate them to the libraries on April 4 through April 10, National Library Week. All books will be purchased at Wakefield Books and were specifically requested by the libraries due to demand.

New organization hopes to celebrate diversity in NK

NORTH KINGSTOWN–The North Kingstown student body is made up of about 85 percent white students. While, some may question the importance of creating an organization that tackles the issue of race in a town that has little diversity, that is one of the main reasons why a new organization has been formed in North Kingstown to do just that.  The organization called Towards an Anti-Racist North Kingstown (T.A.N.K) was founded earlier this year by Jennifer Lima. It started formally when they held their first meeting in mid-October with a small group on Zoom. From there a private Facebook group for T.A.N.K. volunteers was created and by their second meeting in early November, the group had doubled in size.
