Cranston's Arlington Library To Reopen Feb. 28

CRANSTON, RI — After a more than month-long closure, the Arlington branch of the Cranston Library will reopen Monday. The library has been closed since Jan. 17 due to a burst pipe.

The frozen pipe caused serious water damage in the building. Because many library materials were damaged, the selection will be limited until replacements arrive.

"We are excited to have the Edward Costa Memorial Arlington Branch reopen on Monday after the devastating flood which did significant damage to the library itself and our collections," Library Director Ed Garcia said. "Thank you to Mayor Hopkins, the staff at the Cranston Senior Center, and everyone at the city who helped so quickly in getting the necessary building repairs completed allowing us to reopen."
