A library is a happy place for me. I love libraries! My daughters know this fact about me and planned a visit to a really special one when we spent a weekend in Newport, Rhode Island, recently.
The Redwood Library and Athenaeum is the oldest, continuously lending library on its original site in the United States. This library has been making people happy with books since 1747. How cool is that?
Anna and Hattie enjoyed our time there.
So did I!
We visited this library on a Saturday morning, and many people were there perusing books, reading newspapers, soaking up library ambiance. It’s beautiful inside with wooden floors, a used book room, a children’s nook, and plenty of places to be quiet with a good book.
Put this place on your bucket list. It’s fabulous.
I love libraries! Big ones and little ones, too!
