Adams Library

We are fortunate at Rhode Island College to have the James P. Adams Library, an outstanding facility that plays a tremendous role in our college academic, intellectual and cultural endeavors. In 1913 Thomas Edison predicted that "books will soon be obsolete in the schools as it is possible to teach every branch of human knowledge with the motion picture." Similar statements are heard today as we move further into the electronic age and more information becomes available online. Still, the library will remain the core of college life. It will be the resource center for information and continue to attract the support of members of our community.
