Providence Community Libraries

Cheryl Space became Library Director of the Community Libraries of Providence (CLPVD) in June, 2018. Cheryl has her Master of Library and Information Science degree from the University of South Carolina (1994) and has been a librarian for 30 years, with the majority of her professional career focusing on children and families. Being the director of CLPVD is a dream come true - every day brings fresh opportunities to think creatively, connect with staff and partners, try out new ideas, and feel proud of the amazing CLPVD staff who work hard to deliver meaningful, relevant, and welcoming programs and spaces to the people of Providence.
Cheryl is particularly proud to have been part of the team launching the "Big Red Library Bus" into schoolyards all around Providence (starting in 2016) to provide enriching programs, access to popular reading materials, WIFI, math games, and other fun and engaging opportunities to help young people keep learning over the summer.
