Jamestown Philomenian Library

Love this place and the librarians! Update came out great too.

Haven’t been in person yet, but was given a virtual tour of the restroom redesigns via a Facebook “influencer”. The restrooms appear to be spacious enough for wheelchair or stroller use AND I won’t have to wait in a line for one just because of my gender even if the other is open. Applauding the inclusivity of the design and planning my trip down soon!

A wonderful Library! There is a great selection of reading material . Current movies are offered and computers are available. The charming and friendly staff is always on hand to help. You will find a revolving art exhibit sponsored by the Conanicut Island Art Association, Jamestown’s first and oldest art association of 45 years. There is also a fabulous playground for the kids just outside the doors! Please enjoy while on the island!

The Jamestown Philomenian Library is a very good small public library, perhaps the best library of its size in the state of Rhode Island. Kudos to the knowledgeable staff for their efforts. The collection offers a nice balance with excellent reference, fiction and non-fiction selections. They also possess excellent local history and children collections. The library often displays local art and history, and plays host to lectures, meetings and social events. All Jamestowners should pay a visit to this great little institution.

Beautiful library. Wonderful staff.
