Dollar General’s new store on 1548 Broad St. made a great neighborly gesture in donating $1,000 to the Cranston Public Library Summer Reading Program during their grand opening day on May 2. “The Cranston Public Library would like to thank Dollar General for their commitment to literacy nationwide. We are excited that they have come to our city and have committed to improving literacy and reading for the children of Cranston,” said Ed Garcia, library director.
