Friends of the Richmond Public Library

  • Libraries offer, for free, the wisdom of the ages—and sages—and, simply put, there’s something for everyone inside.

    Laura Bush, First Lady of the United States

  • Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.

    Ray Bradbury, author

  • Funding libraries should be our number one national priority.

    Karin Slaughter, author

  • A library is the home for the imagination.

    Lisa Scottoline, author

  • Throughout my formal education I spent many, many hours in public and school libraries. Libraries became courts of last resort, as it were. The current definitive answer to almost any question can be found within the four walls of most libraries.

    Arthur Ashe, tennis champion & human rights activist
