Welcome!
The Rhode Island Family Literacy Initiative (RIFLI) is a high performing literacy program that offers free beginning, intermediate and advanced level English as a Second Language (ESL), job readiness, citizenship preparation, high school completion and computer-based distance learning throughout five public library systems.
NEW APRIL 2013! The RIFLI Raffle is Here! Tickets are 1/$10 or 3/$25. Top 3 ticket sellers/buyers receive 10 free tickets. Buy throughout April - the drawings begin in May. Call or email Nancy at 455-8041/nfritz@provlib.org to buy tickets.
Donate Used Books To Benefit RIFLI: RIFLI is partnering with Better World Books (BWB) (www.betterworldbooks.org) to collect gently used books. The books are sent free of charge to BWB where they sell them online. RIFLI receives between 15 and 25% of the proceeds. Here is a link to what is and isn’t accepted: http://www.betterworldbooks.com/go/library-acceptance-guidelines. We can pick books or make arrangements to get them to the RIFLI office (150 Empire Street, Providence).
Our Discovery Guides program was featured in the Providence Journal on November 15, 2012. RIFLI is one of three organizations nation-wide chosen for a National Center for Family Literacy/Better Books Families and Libraries 2012 Award.
