EAST PROVIDENCE, RI — East Providence Public Libraries are set to reopen to the public for the first time in nearly three months on Wednesday, Feb 17.

Computer sessions will remain by-appointment only and 30-minute sessions can be scheduled at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., or 3 p.m. The library asks that people limit their computer sessions to twice a week.

Although the libraries are resuming normal operations, contactless pickup will remain available by request.
