Richmond Public Library Foundation relies on donations to support Richmond Public Library’s mission to Inform, Enrich, and Empower.
Your donations support valuable library programs like:
Early Learning Summer Intern Program
Summer is a key time for libraries, children, and literacy. With your support, the Foundation offers a structured, mentored, and paid college intern program. This program increases library capacity and helps young families connect with literacy resources and programs.
Read Up Richmond
Read Up Richmond is an opportunity for people from different walks of life to come together, learn together, and enter into a conversation with our larger community. Join us as we Read. Listen. Connect each fall.
Richmond Room and Memory Lab
The Richmond Room is home to Richmond Public Library’s Business, Law, and Nonprofit resources. Also a good entry point to the Memory Lab, and a place to start your genealogy, family, or neighborhood research in our Local History and Special Collections.
Read with Ripple
Read with Ripple, brings the library to young readers in their preschool or day care settings. This program was established to foster a love of reading, help build home book collections, and create a meaningful connection to the library as a lifelong resource.
