Welcome

Welcome to RPL

We are delighted you are here!

We look forward to welcoming you to your local Richmond Public Library branch. You will find programming for every member of your family, and our Library Staff are always excited to meet our newest neighbors. All of us look forward to helping you get to know our community – and the resources we provide.
