Providence Public Library, as Lovecraft would have known it… From The American Architect and Building News, 9th June 1900: Providence Public Library, complete interior floor plans, 1900 (PDF link…
I was forwarded this blog link from our good friends and partners rhodiproject in the upcoming Lovecraft Readathon. This is an amazing look into the impact that our Providence Public Library had on a young H.P. Lovecraft. I can’t tell you how exciting and gratifying it is to think about how our collections might have molded that mind!
If you are a Lovecraft fan and want to experience the PPL as we read several of his works aloud and listen to local musicians inspired by him, come on August 23rd, 7-10pm to our Lovecraft Readathon.
A wonderful post on Lovecraft and the Providence Public Library - many thanks to David Haden for sharing his post with us. What wonderful context for the upcoming Readathon - it really seals the deal of Providence Public Library being the perfect location for the event!
