Friends of the Richmond Public Library

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

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

Barbara Tuchman, historian & author

A library is the home for the imagination.

Lisa Scottoline, author

Library/ Here is where people/ One frequently finds/ Lower their voices/ And raise their mind.

Richard Armour, poet

There is no problem a library card can’t solve.

Eleanor Brown, author
