Summer Reading Program
June 7-August 2
All Richmond Public Library Locations
This year our Summer Reading Program starts on June 7 with kickoff events at all of our locations! Start your summer off right by grabbing a reading log and joining in the fun. Enjoy game-themed adventures, cool skills workshops, and thrilling programs. We're also giving away epic prizes to reward you along your reading journey. This summer we’re not just reading—we're leveling up!
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.
