Book Bundles
Not sure which books to choose for your child? Try a Book Bundle. Each Book Bundle has five hand-selected books on a topic, plus activities and songs to go with it. Our current themes are: winter, snow, Valentine’s Day, dinosaurs, fire fighters, and many more.
While the library is open for “Library Take Out” only, please call us at 401-434-2453 (Weaver Library) or 401-433-4877 (Riverside Library). We can let you know which Book Bundles are available and schedule a time for you to pick one up.

“Build It” STEM Backpack Kits
The Weaver Library is now lending “Build It” STEM Backpack Kits geared toward elementary age students. Each kit contains two books, matched with a toy, focused on a certain aspect of engineering: chain reaction machines, robotics, circuits, building, and more. Patrons may borrow a kit for three weeks at a time. Check them out at Weaver Library.
