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.

  • When I got my library card, that’s when my life began.

    Rita Mae Brown, writer

  • My Alma mater was books, a good library… I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

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

    Lady Bird Johnson, First Lady of the United States

  • A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
