Draw Your Dream Library

Have you ever imagined what your ideal library would look like? What features would it have? What would it make you feel like when you step inside?

Visit any Richmond Public Library location during National Library Week and draw your Dream Library. Then give it to a staff member and we’ll hang it up for display. Then fill out our Next 100 Survey and help inform our Facilities Strategic Plan. We want to hear from you!
