This is a historic library located in Providence, RI nestled in between the campuses of Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).  An atheneum is a library that you have to pay to be a member of but this one is free and open to the public.  Great space to spend a quiet cool afternoon lost amongst books.
