We Want to Hear From You!
Richmond Public Library is embarking on a new Facilities Strategic Plan and is collecting feedback from the community to help inform our new goals. We value your thoughts and ideas and would be grateful if you would take a few moments to fill out our Current Library User Survey. Have a friend, family member, or neighbor who doesn't currently use the library? We want to hear from them, too. Please share our Future Library User Survey link.
