Story

The Smith Hill Library-Providence Community Library is one of the branch libraries of the Providence, Rhode Island, public library system. It is located at 31 Candace Street, in a single-story brick building designed by Albert Harkness and C.K. Rathbone, and built in 1932. Stylistically the building is a mixture of Colonial Revival and Moderne features. The Smith Hill branch began as a delivery station in 1907, and had grown to occupy leased space, with an annual circulation of more than 70,000, by 1929. Circulation rose rapidly after the building's completion, reaching 119,000 in just three years. The building continues to act as a significant local community resource.The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

I remember going to this library as a child. My sister and I would walk from Harry Kizarian elementary school after school and read books here for hours.
