Friends of the Richmond Public Library

  • The public library is one of the great strongholds of democracy. Who doesn’t love a library? It is a place you can go in any town and discover the world.

    Pat MacEnulty, author

  • Books are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind—humanity in print.

    Barbara Tuchman, historian & author

  • I cannot think of a day in my life when the library didn’t exert a potent attraction for me, offering a sense of the specialness of each individual’s curiosity and his or her quest to satisfy it.

    Scott Turow, lawyer & author

  • Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open.

    Laura Bush, First Lady of the United States

  • Funding libraries should be our number one national priority.

    Karin Slaughter, author
