The Building

The new Tiverton Public library will be located at the junction of Bulgarmarsh Road and Stafford Road (Highways 81 and 177), two highly traveled main roads that provide easy access for all Tiverton residents. The size of the new library, 22,886 sq. ft., was determined by State standards for Rhode Island libraries. The ratio of building size to population is similar to that of the other libraries constructed in New England towns of this size during the past 10 years.
