Friends of the Richmond Public Library

  • 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

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

    Barbara Tuchman, historian & author

  • I’m of a fearsome mind to throw my arms around every living librarian who crosses my path, on behalf of the souls they never knew they saved.

    Barbara Kingsolver, Virginia author

  • Libraries are the hearts of our communities.

    Jennifer R. Hubbard, author

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

    Henry Ward Beecher, author
