East Providence Public Library Staff Are Still Hard At Work For You!

Posted

We continue to answer the phone. You are invited to call 401-434-2453 with any questions you might have Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.

Applying for a new library card and renewing your current card is still possible. Use the “Apply for/Renew a Library Card” link in the Ocean State Libraries catalog: https://catalog.oslri.net

Play along with us! Get “caught reading.” Share a photo of yourself or your kids reading and use the hashtag #caughtreadingEPPL on Facebook or Instagram.

Miss Pam will continue to provide Storytime twice weekly. You can find the Storytime videos on our YouTube Channel. Families are also welcome to contribute a book review! Picture books, chapter books, any book that your child has recently read will do. Email a short video, 60 seconds or less, to eplibrarypam@yahoo.com and she will upload them to our YouTube channel.

You may have the time now to do that genealogy research you have always wanted to do. We are pleased to announce that Ancestry now offers remote access. Use your library barcode to log in and continue your genealogy research from home. Find the link under our research tab on our homepage.

Kanopy, our film streaming service, now has a list of titles that don’t go toward your monthly play credits. Browse the list of the 46 credit-free films without the worry of maxing out your play credits before the month is up! Access Kanopy under the E-Library tab on our home page.

The staff at Fuller Creative Learning Center will be delivering learning opportunities by email! Appropriately, the theme is "What can I do around the house?" Offerings will include quick and easy recipes, DIY household projects, fun for kids and more. To receive new learning opportunities via email, please send an email to fullercreativelearning@gmail.com.

Don't forget that your family counts in the 2020 Census! Fill it out at www.2020census.gov

eBook reading has increased dramatically with many new users and more eBooks, and audiobooks, being checked out! eZone has both adult and children’s books, fiction and nonfiction with more content being added frequently. Library fines no longer stop you from accessing eBooks. Another free source for children’s eBooks is TumbleBooks. Find the link on our website.

Need to stay in touch by text? Text Free allows you to text a librarian who will respond in 24 hours or less. Ask a question or send some library love! Text us at 401-287-2567.

The much loved stuffed animals at both Riverside and Weaver have been washed and fluffed and can’t wait for playtime again. Floors have been stripped and waxed and are gleaming. Staff at Weaver are even cleaning all the books!

Our doors may be closed, but many services are still open to you. We miss you and look forward to serving you in person one day soon.
