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.

POSTPONED! Author Visit with Carissa Leveille Nylin - Sponsored by the Friends of JPL

This program has been rescheduled to Tuesday, September 16. We are sorry for the inconvenience. 

This program is generously sponsored by the Friends of Jamestown Philomenian Library


Join Rhode Island-based author and illustrator Carissa Leveille Nylin for a live reading of her recently launched picture book Ella, Bernard, and the Marvelous Mountains. The book is described as "a whimsical adventure perfect for elementary and middle-grade classrooms." Literary devices like 
onomatopoeia, alliteration, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, and personification are woven seamlessly into a story about imagination, music, and the magic of childhood. Program concludes with a craft.

Recommended for children ages 5 to 10; caregiver must be present. 

Registration is required. Please include the number of children who will be in attendance.
