Membership Library Spotlight: Providence’s Athenæum

Thu, Apr 14, 2022 @ 5:30 pm6:30 pm

This program is reserved for members of the Providence Athenæum or another membership library.

The Athenæum as we know it today was founded in 1836, but its roots stretch back almost another century. Join Reference & Special Collections Librarian Stephanie Ovoian to explore the twists and turns of our library’s history and its collection of “usefull and Edifying Books.”
