The library is extending our services beyond curbside beginning Wednesday, June 24.
At this time, due to on-going necessary updates to the building, we are only able to offer express services in our Meeting Room. Please follow signage on the sidewalk and walking path to enter through the room's side door. If you need assistance, call us at (401) 294-3306.
Space in our meeting room is extremely limited. We will be able to accommodate four (4) visitors. Services will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you arrive and the room is at capacity, library staff will take your name and cell phone number, vehicle description, or a note about where you will be waiting for your turn. As space becomes available, a staff member will contact visitors in order of their arrival.

Updated information on Library Materials and Curbside Pick Up:
- All materials are now due July 1st
- Returns are now being accepted in the book drops only
- You can now place holds for other libraries' materials in the catalog. There is a maximum of 10 holds on your card, including what is already there.
- Holds from before the COVID-19 building closure count towards this total. If you receive a notice that you cannot place an item on hold, you may already have 10 items on hold. You will need to either cancel some prior holds, or contact the library directly (if the items you want to put on hold are in the library and available).
- You can still call us or chat with us to get 5 items from only the North Kingstown Free Library (in addition to placing holds) between 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
- If you place holds or holds show they have arrived, you will need to call and schedule an appointment. There is no unscheduled drop-in to pick up holds or any materials.
- Curbside pick ups are being scheduled during two windows per day, 10:00 am - 12:30 pm, and 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm Monday thru Friday. When you schedule an appointment, you will receive a window. You may come to the library at any time during this window and your items will be on a table in our lobby.
- Please remember to wear a mask and observe social distancing while picking up your items. Only one person allowed in the lobby area at a time.

Although the library is not open to the public, our Wireless is available outside of the library 24 hours. The signal is strongest in the Main parking lot, "The Pit", and the lawn in back of the library all the way down to the water.
