A Call for Help: Build a School Library in Providence
The new West Broadway Middle School has room for a library, but nothing to put inside, and a limited budget. The library needs bookcases, supplies, books, furniture, and technology.
If you have any of these, staff will move it.
Contact Bill Black, West Broadway Principal, at (401) 575-8849, or william.black@ppsd.org

Track who’s buying politicians with “Greenhouse” browser add-on
Greenhouse pulls in campaign contribution data for every Senator and Representative, including the total amount of money received and a breakdown by industry and size of donation. It then combines this with a parser that finds the names of Senators and Representatives in the current page and highlights them. Hover your mouse over the highlighted names and it displays their top campaign contributors.
