Become a Member of RI Center for the Book
Thank you for considering a membership in the Rhode Island Center for the Book.
Our Mission
The Rhode Island Center for the Book at Providence Public Library celebrates the art and heritage of reading, writing, making, and sharing books. Through a variety of programs and activities, the RI Center promotes a love for books among people of all ages and backgrounds across Rhode Island.
Your dues sustain the RI Center for the Book (RI CfB) signature programs: Reading Across Rhode Island, Letters about Literature, the Arts of the Book partnership programs and RI BookLinks. Your support also allows the RI CfB to partner with similar organizations in RI to provide additional programming and member opportunities. Finally, membership dues facilitate RI CfB's participation in the National Book Festival in the fall, and the State Exchange Day in the spring, sponsored annually by the Library of Congress and held in Washington, D.C.

The Rhode Island Center for the Book has very active committees for programming, marketing & communications, and membership development. Committee Chairs are always looking for resourceful and creative people who wish to contribute their talents. All RI CfB members are welcome to join one of the committees. If you would like to become involved, please let us know. Send your comments, questions, and suggestions to Louise Moulton at lmoulton@provlib.org.
