READERS EXCHANGE LIBRARIES COOPERATE TO PRODUCE TRAVELING EXHIBIT The Consortium of Rhode Island Research & Academic Libraries has organized a state-wide traveling exhibit publicizing state and Federal documents. Paula Azar of the Providence Public Library and Jenny LaPerriere of the East Providence Public Library sent the following news release on the exhibit. Government Documents Exhibit Traveling to Public Libraries Ever wanted to know more about the services of our Federal government..... then stay tuned to your local public library ... an exhibit is headed your way. Entitled Business Information: Making Government Work For You!, this exhibit features information on subjects ranging from small business and economic growth to employment and training. Sponsored by the Government Documents Committee of the Consortium of Rhode Island Academic and Research Libraries, the exhibit will be traveling to 27 public libraries throughout Rhode Island to publicize the importance of national and local government information. In Rhode Island, each state agency is required by law (RIGL 29-7) to give copies of its publications to the State Publications Clearinghouse which distributes the copies to library sites in the state. The Federal government has a similar program and has designated 12 libraries in Rhode Island to receive Federal publications. These 12 Federal depository libraries allow all Rhode Island residents free access to thousands of publications issued by the Federal and state government. To learn just what libraries are state and Federal depository libraries, visit the exhibit when it reaches your town or visit the Providence Public Library between April 1 - 22 during regular business hours where it will be on display in the new book area located on the first floor. For more information, contact the exhibit coordinator ... Reference Librarian Paula Azar at the Library at 401-455-8088.
