A struggling public library in Rhode Island is getting help from actor Alec Baldwin — again.

Officials at the Adams Memorial Library in Central Falls say Baldwin will headline a fundraiser on June 7 at Fete in Providence. Attendees can enter a raffle for a chance to read dialogue on stage with Baldwin.

Central Falls has been in the news for its financial problems. The city in 2011 became the first in Rhode Island to declare municipal bankruptcy and the library closed for a month as a result. The city emerged from bankruptcy in 2012.
