The Enlightenment Award is presented to those who have demonstrated their commitment to and passion for the mission of Providence Public Library, the ideals exemplified by a life of learning, and the value and importance of sharing knowledge. As we look to PPL's future as a leading 21st-century library, growing and evolving to bring bold new ideas to fruition while listening to and co-creating with our community, we are thrilled to recognize and honor Robert K. Taylor -- a long-serving member and former chair of PPL's Board of Trustees whose vision and steady leadership have been unparalleled in guiding the Library into its future.
