📖 About Warwick Public Library
Warwick Public Library operates the Central Library on Sandy Lane alongside three branch locations — Apponaug (3267 Post Road), Conimicut (55 Beach Avenue), and Norwood (328 Pawtuxet Ave) — making it one of the most distributed library systems in Rhode Island. The Central branch is the technology hub of the system, housing a Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro 3D printer (print jobs submitted via STL file to it-staff@warwicklibrary.org, charged at 5 cents per gram). Notary services are available at Central by calling (401) 739-5440 x3 for same-day access or scheduling in advance. The Library of Things collection lets cardholders borrow craft tools, kitchen appliances, health devices, and home improvement equipment beyond the traditional collection. Museum passes to area attractions are bookable through the online calendar. A home delivery program serves patrons unable to travel, and the Paws from the Heart therapy dog program supports children's literacy throughout the year.
