Be a part of history as you enjoy your membership to the historic Redwood Library in Newport, Rhode Island. Read a book in the library that may have possibly been one of the most architecturally influential buildings in the united states.

Established before the birth of the United States, the Redwood Library and Athenæum was charted in 1747 and opened in 1750. It is the first library in Rhode Island, the oldest lending library in America, and the first lending library building, in continuous use, in the country.
