The Library will be accepting donations of non-expired, non-perishable items to benefit the Greater Tiverton Community Thanksgiving Basket Mission and other community food collections during the month of November.

Many thanks to our dedicated Union Public Library Association Volunteers who generously give their time to assist the librarians on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Each volunteer brings their own skills and talents, whether it be covering books, finding that elusive volume hiding on a shelf where it doesn't belong, putting the children’s books back in their proper places, assisting in cleaning book covers, helping out with library activities, and more. Volunteers really do make a difference in the life of our charming little library and make it possible for the library to continue to be a vital part of the community, uniting readers since 1820! 

If you're interested in more information about volunteering, please call 401-625-6799 or visit Union Public Library (3832 Main Road, Tiverton, RI) during regular hours of operation on Tuesdays from 10:00am to 5:00pm and Saturdays from 10:00am to 1:00pm.
