Friends of the Richmond Public Library

  • There are many ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all.

  • 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

  • Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.

  • Funding libraries should be our number one national priority.

  • 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.
