Celebrate National Library Week with RIPTA

In honor of National Library Week (April 19–25, 2026), RIPTA is proud to make it even easier to visit and support libraries across Rhode Island. We’ve launched this new webpage - RIPTA.com/library - where you can explore public libraries statewide and find the RIPTA routes that serve them. Whether you're heading to your neighborhood branch or discovering a new one, transit can help connect you to these vital community spaces.

Public libraries are more than just buildings; they are welcoming places to read, learn, gather, and belong. This year, you can also take part in the Library Love Letter campaign, a heartfelt initiative to show appreciation for Rhode Island’s libraries and the people who make them so special. Volunteers will help deliver letters of gratitude to libraries across the state during National Library Week. Consider riding RIPTA to your favorite library, signing a letter, and being part of this meaningful effort to celebrate and support one of our most valued public resources.
