Redwood Library and Athenaeum is the oldest lending library in the United States. Redwood's collection includes a rare book collection of the original books purchased in England to start the library, a portrait gallery of early colonial Newporters, early American silver, and a collection of American furniture. The Children's collection is housed across from the main building. The Victorian-era house allows plenty of space for children to relax, look at books, sit for story hours and even sing and dance as there is no "shushing" here!
