Friends of the Richmond Public Library

  • 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.

  • My Alma mater was books, a good library… I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

  • All you need in life is truth and beauty and you can find both at the Public Library.

    Studs Terkel, broadcaster & historian

  • If you want to find your happy place, just go to the library.
