Children's Discovery Library at Providence Public Library Opens Saturday

The new Children's Discovery Library will officially open Saturday, January 28 at 12:30 pm with a ribbon cutting, special guests and activities. Parents and children will have the opportunity to learn about and explore the new Children's Discovery Library space, free and open to public. Activities include face painting, refreshments and prize drawings.

To create Rhode Island's latest family learning destination, Providence Public Library (PPL) contracted Providence Children's Museum, which has earned both a national reputation for the excellence of its exhibits and the popular acclaim of generations of southern New England's children and caregivers. The artful re-imagining and design of PPL's children's library has resulted in a captivating and enriching environment for early learners.

The Children's Discovery Library features several hands-on activity centers focused on key elements of literacy development, including its focal area - "the Forest." This magical silvery birch forest is designed to inspire imagination and story making. A tree trunk hideaway, giant leaf-shaped cushions and playful props encourage pretend play. An artfully designed mobile of gently swirling yellow birch leaves with letters hidden among them hangs high above the forest.
