Can the public still visit the URI Library ? Or is it still off limits due to Covid-19 ?

I have been using the Providence Public Library for years . I do appreciate the re-construction. What makes me nervous is when public libraries start discarding ( for sale ! ) old books that some few individuals might find precious . I still want to locate books on the more obscure shelves of the Providence Public Library that entertained and instructed me say way back in 1957 when the Russian Sputnik in orbit shocked the country. Or just dusty old novels - great reading - but neglected for decades. I also appreciate all microfilm archives and the printed editions of newspapers and magazines that might go back a century. The archives of a library are a virtual TIME MACHINE . At the University of Rhode Library I enjoyed scanning and browsing old LIFE magazines, old READERS DIGEST , old copies of SCIENCE DIGEST , or SCIENCE NEWS LETTER. New discoveries are best explained when they were young and fresh by still young and fresh popular science writers. The reader senses the EXCITEMENT of the discovery .Who gets really excited about " quarks " or the Big Bang or DNA or Quasars or Transistors in 2021 ? Or even " YOUR FUTURE IN SPACE " ? NOTE : Can the public still visit the URI library ? Or has Covid-19 made it still off limits to non-student scholars ? Providence Public Library embarks on new chapter with major renovations
