The Wanskuck Library—A Community Library of Providence is an historic branch library building at 233 Veazie Street in Providence, Rhode Island. It is a single-story brick and stone structure, built in 1928, replacing an earlier library building which had originally housed a library established by the Wanskuck Mill Company for its employees. The building was designed by Clarke & Howe, and is an excellent local example of Colonial Revival design, with a tetrastyle entrance portico. It was the first of ten libraries built based on Howe designs.{{cite web|url=http://www.preservation.ri.gov/pdfs_zips_downloads/national_pdfs/providence/prov_veazie-street-233_wanskuck-branch-library.pdf|title=NRHP nomination for Wanskuck Library-Providence Community Library|publisher=Rhode Island Preservation|accessdate=2014-11-01}}
