Mamava Lactation Pod

Mamava lactation pod in the library

The Children’s Department is excited to announce the arrival of a Mamava lactation pod!  This freestanding space is designed to provide a clean, comfortable and private environment to meet the needs of breastfeeding parents.  It is available anytime during regular Library hours and is located near the Children’s Desk. The pod is made possible through generous donations from the community and the Friends of the Newport Public Library. It will improve the breastfeeding and pumping experience for our patrons.
