Friends of the Richmond Public Library

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

    Carl T. Rowan, journalist & author

  • Libraries: cafeterias for food that feeds the mind.

    Louise Yelin, author

  • There is no problem a library card can’t solve.

    Eleanor Brown, author

  • A library is not simply a repository of books, it is the symbol and center of our culture—a door and a window for those who might not otherwise have such doors and windows.

    Amy Tan, author

  • 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
