There was a water leak in the Youth Services area on Monday, January 26th. This wing will be closed until further notice. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause to our Youth population. The Sydney Wright Room is being used for storage during this time, so it will be unavailable. The rest of the library is open for normal business. We thank you for your understanding.

Extraordinary Women of East Bay

Featured women include the first woman to register to vote in Rhode Island, Mary Jolls Merchant DeWolf, lighthouse keeper Ida Lewis, ice-cream shop owner Annie Dodge Gray, LGBTQ rights activist Julia Pell, Queen Sachem of the Pocasset’s Weetamoo, and baseball player Lizzie Murphy.

Spanning more than three centuries of Rhode Island’s history, the exhibit contains banners with photographs and biographies of the women, artifacts from their lives, and includes a searchable online database containing short biographies of the women. Heidi has also created an online exhibit featuring photographs and in-depth biographies of each woman.
