CHILDREN'S LIBRARY - Programs & Events
Christopher Kavi Carbone, one of the Redwood's favorite performers, will be joining us Tuesday, August 3 at 10:30a.m. in conjunction with BridgeFest in Newport Stop by, and sing & dance along! If it's nice, we'll go outside and serenade the neighborhood! |

We're having a special book discussion group for 4th - 6th graders!
Sign up in the annex and get a free copy of the book Regarding the Fountain by Kate Klise. We'll meet on August 5th at 6pm in the Summer House to discuss the book and have a picnic dinner.
Be an "All-Star Reader"!
Children aged 6-12 can pick up an entry form in the Children’s Library to win four free tickets to Binder Night at McCoy Stadium on Monday, August 16th at 7:05 p.m. The winning Redwood "All-Star Reader" will arrive early to have his or her picture taken with Paws, the team mascot, and march in the parade of readers from other libraries around the infield. Best of all, each All Star Reader will be eligible for a drawing for an all-inclusive trip for four to Walt Disney World! Entry forms are available now, and are due back to the Redwood Children’s Library by August 5 to be eligible for the drawing!

The Redwood invaded by PIRATES!?!?!
On Sunday, July 25 beginning at 2 p.m., the lawns of the Redwood will be overrun with rogues from
RI Pirate Players
in authentic eighteenth century garb, blending historical re-enactment with lessons about pirates, their lives, equipment, and methods in use by sailors of the time. An extremely interactive living history experience, visitors will be in the unique position of being a part of the encampment itself. Eye patches optional.
Free and fun for all ages!
stay tuned...more fun is always just around the corner!
The Children’s Collection is housed in the Carol and Les Ballard Annex at 10 Redwood Street, across from the main building. This wonderful Victorian house allows plenty of space for children to relax, look at books, attend story hours, play with our train set and puzzles, and even sing and dance --there is never any “shush"-ing here. |
Hours: Monday - Friday 9:30 - 5:30 Storytime: Tuesdays 10:30 a.m. |
With a wide array of board books, picture books, and easy readers, we satisfy many different reading levels and tastes.
Our non-fiction collection for children is also housed in this building, and the resource/professional collection is available for questions and literature help. We also have videos, DVDs, and audio-books to check out.
Books for older readers are in the "big library" across the street in the Gerwirz room.
Parents and grandparents looking for well-remembered stories from their youth often come in to comb the upper shelves of "classic” volumes. Come in and visit with an old friend -- grown-ups are always welcome.
"Magee", our library bear, greets visitors to his library "home."
Stop by and give him a pat -- he's quite tame!
