This program is co-sponsored by Barrington Public Library and the Rhode Island Center for the Book at Providence Public Library, in conjunction with this year’s Reading Across Rhode Island book selection Water for Elephants.

Starting this spring, “Starbucks said it will give customers who use a Starbucks purchase card two hours of free wireless access per day. More time than that will cost $3.99 for a two-hour session.” (NY Times)

Barrington Library says: We offer free wireless access to everyone, with or without a Starbucks card!

Also, you might regret the glazed doughnut.

During the month of February 2008, look for a diorama on display by Barrington native and college student Sam Andrews.  The diorama was inspired by the WWII classic film The Bridge on the River Kwai. Sam, who worked as a “page” at the Library during his highschool years, is happy to give something back to his former workplace by sharing this creative and visually exciting exhibit with Library patrons and staff.
