Carcieri, Chafee to help re-open Redwood Library

NEWPORT - Governor Carcieri and U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee are among the dignitaries expected to be on hand at 11:30 a.m. today for the Redwood Library and Athenaeum's re-opening celebration after its restoration.

In 2001, Chafee helped secure a $250,000 Save America's Treasure Grant for Redwood, which is the oldest circulating library in the United States. The National Endowment for the Humanities also granted more than $500,000 toward the restoration, according to Chafee's office.
