The taskforce is charged with making recommendations for ways to curb summer learning loss among Providence students and draws upon the collective experience of representatives from almost 30 educational and community organizations. 

We hope that you've enjoyed your access to our Library's materials, services and programs in 2015. Some patrons are occasional users who drop in to browse our collections, borrow a movie or enjoy an occasional cultural event; others turn to PC for free access to computers and the internet, help with studying or to get a job, or to learn new skills for a better life. Whatever your individual needs, we look forward to serving you in 2016.
 

There are many ways that you can help us, too.
 

Libraries need money and support, and in lean economic times, resources are tight. Your advocacy is important to us. Help us by telling others how much you appreciate PCL and remind local leaders and elected officials that a vibrant, well-funded community library is at the heart of every neighborhood. Follow PCL on social media and share our news with your friends.
 

Finally, please remember PCL in your end of year (or anytime) giving plans. Every dollar you give helps us raise reading standards among our youth, funds training and programs to help people get jobs and provides access to enriching and rewarding cultural events. You can donate at any time on  PCL's website or by clicking on the "Donate Now" button on our  Facebook page. I f you prefer, you can donate right now, by clicking on the red button below.
 

Please give generously. Thank you.
