A blog for young readers (and YA lovers) from the Providence Athenaeum.
The Providence Athenaeum is a unique library and cultural center in the heart of Providence, Rhode Island. Growing out of the Providence Library Company (fourth library in the United States), the Athenaeum as we know it was formed in 1836. Our handsome building on the corner of Benefit and College was completed in 1838.
We are one of the few surviving membership libraries in the nation. Student memberships are available - visit or call for more information.
This blog is updated by one of our circulation assistants (and YA enthusiast), RJ. Follow us to find out what's new in our Young Adult corner, or just for a daily dose of literary shenanigans.
You can follow the Ath on twitter or facebook. Our catalog and much more information about us can be found at our homepage.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Uma ideia legal lá em Bogotá: livrarias em parques.
Since the link above is about Portuguese (the language in which the caption is written) and unrelated to the photograph, I used Google’s search by image feature to track down more information on this library in a park in Bogotá, Columbia. I could have also looked at the watermark in the bottom-right corner, of course - the picture comes from The Bilingual Librarian, who has a great little write-up about the Paradero Para Libros Para Parques program in English and Spanish.
Hurray for increasing access to information all around!

What a smart idea. Leave books in public places for people to borrow. If we made things more accessible, I think people...
