Friends of the Richmond Public Library

  • Funding libraries should be our number one national priority.

    Karin Slaughter, author

  • A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.

    Andrew Carnegie, industrialist & philanthropist

  • Libraries are more important today than when I was a kid.

    John Grisham, Virginia author

  • Libraries are a pillar of liberty; they equalize and transform.

    Matthew Vossler

  • A library is more than a brick and mortar building filled with delicious books. It is also a community of people who live to invest in our youth, who read for knowledge and fun, and who are ready to include anyone who walks through the door.

    Kate L. McGarry, author
