Get a Library Card
A library card is free to residents of Rhode Island and students who reside in Rhode Island. The Greenville Public Library is a member of Ocean State Libraries Consortium. A library card from the Greenville Public Library entitles you to borrowing privileges at all RI public libraries. Books borrowed at any RI public library may be returned at any other public library in the state. (Local policies may vary.)
