Get your passport @ the library
By admin | January 7, 2013
Do you need a passport? Well, there’s no better place to get one than at the library.
The Pawtucket Public Library, in partnership with the RI Family Literacy Initiative (RIFLI), is now an Official US Passport Acceptance Facility, the first library in RI to accept passport applications. The library will begin accepting passport applications starting on Monday, January 14th. The service is available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5-8:45pm. The library will also have an on-site photo machine so you can get your photo for $10.
The service is best for issuing new passports, as you can renew your existing passport yourself through the mail. For more information on passports and passport documentation, visit the US Department of State’s website.
For each passport issued, $25 will go directly to the Pawtucket Public Library’s Literacy Program. This is not an additional fee, all passport locations charge the same amount, but the money will go for a very good cause.
RIFLI extends their thanks to the Pawtucket Public Library, especially Susan Reed and Julie Fischer, the Providence Public Library, Social Venture Partners of Rhode Island, Julie DiBari, Silja Kallenbach, RIFLI staff and New Roots Providence for their support in helping to develop this project. In the future, RIFLI hopes to train and employ RIFLI alumni as Passport Agents.
Be one of the first to get your passport at the library. Email or call Karisa Tashjian with questions or contact Julie Fischer, RIFLI Teacher and Passport Manager, directly in Pawtucket at 401-725-9261.
