PPL Is 150 Years Old!
We invite you to join the celebration.
Since our founding in 1875, Rhode Islanders have turned to us as a free and open place to gather – where they can engage, learn, and thrive.
As a private, non-profit organization providing free public library service, we have a long-standing tradition of democratizing education and opportunity – inspiring everyone to be lifelong learners, engaging their curiosity, and offering access to extraordinary experiences, resources, and ideas.
Join us as we celebrate 150 years of serving our community!
Take a journey through time.
