Plans for the Weaver Memorial Library were submitted to the East Providence Town Council in June of 1938. The article from the Providence Journal falsely listed the land as being bequeathed by Sarah S. Anthony, rather than Susan S. Anthony.

Support Your Library – Be a Friend


Friendship can be shown in many ways – through support, even in challenging times, outreach, trust, and shared interests. Friendship does not only apply to individuals. The Friends of the East Providence Public Library provide all of this and more to the patrons and staff of

Weaver Library, Riverside Library and Fuller Creative Learning Center,

as well as to the larger community who participate in the many programs

and events held at those locations.


Friends volunteer hundreds of hours preparing for bi-annual book sales

and Farmer’s Markets. They donate hundreds of books each year to local

organizations to promote free access to reading materials for everyone.

They contribute thousands of dollars annually to help provide

educational and fun activities and programs for people of all ages in

our community.


The Friends have set a goal of 300 members this year. Help us reach that

goal by joining now. As an added bonus, your membership card provides

entry to the preview for the Fall Book Sale on Thursday, October 13,

from 6-8 p.m., the day before the sale opens to the public, October 14

to 16. Sign up now to avoid waiting in line on preview night.


Neon pink membership forms can be obtained at the circulation desk at

Weaver Library, 41 Grove Avenue, East Providence or at Riverside

Library, 475 Bullocks Point Avenue, Riverside. Bring the completed form,

with $5 per person, to either of those locations or mail your check to

Friends of East Providence Public Library, 41 Grove Avenue, East

Providence, RI 02914. Membership dues help to provide special programs

and events at the library. Your support is greatly appreciated.
