Friends of the Richmond Public Library

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

    Richard Armour, poet

  • 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

  • The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.

    Carl T. Rowan, journalist & author

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

    Barbara Tuchman, historian & author

  • Funding libraries should be our number one national priority.

    Karin Slaughter, author
