- Laurie Kelly won the RILA Board of Director of the year award
- The Murray Family Foundation has launched a Save Our Library Fundraising campaign for the New Narragansett library.
- The Friends have held very successful Jewelry and Book Sales, Open Houses, Authors events, Costume Parades and Many Adult and Children’s programs.
- And most of all, just because we love our library!
We deserve to CELEBRATE!
