The Rhode Island Center for the Book was established in January 2003 as an affiliate of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress. Its purpose is to "celebrate, honor and promote interest in books, reading and the book arts culture and heritage of the state of Rhode Island."
The Center is based at the Providence Public Library.
The first project of the Center has been Reading Across Rhode Island Basically the idea is for everyone in Rhode Island to read the same book at the same time. The book is David Baldacci's Wish You Well
The RI Center for the Book has plans for other projects as well, some upcoming plans include Telling America’s Stories, Letters About Literature , River of Words, and the Mother Goose Asks “Why?”
