Friends of the Richmond Public Library

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

    Rita Mae Brown, writer

  • 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

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

    Barbara Tuchman, historian & author

  • When you are growing up, there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully—the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is a great equalizer.

    Keith Richards, musician
