On hot days, it's a great place to cool off. Easy self check out. And a great building to explore.

I'm looking for a marriage notation for Anna J. Carleton, a stage actress, to Charles or Clarke Young on October 9th, 1876 in Providence, RI. Can you verify this on a local newspaper microfilm? Thank you for your assistance.

You need to call the library and ask. These pages are monitored by Google volunteers, not library staff.
