New Library Naming Opportunities

Purchasing a "Named Gift"

Names of those who purchase a room as a gift will be accorded dual recognition. Their contribution will be identified on the room with which their gift is associated, as well as with a plaque on the Recognition Wall at the library’s entrance.

Please call the library at 401-568-8244 to discuss naming opportunities. Commemorative naming opportunities are awarded on a first come basis, so be sure to call soon.

The Jesse M. Smith Memorial Library Board of Trustees reserves the right to accept or not accept any commemorative gift.
