Richmond Fair
The library was closed for 3 days the second week of July. The library has closed during the Richmond Fair for as long as can be remembered.
Now when the library closed the staff, volunteers and board members go to help out at the food stand we share with the Richmond Area Civic Organizations [R.A.C.O.]
This is our summer fundraiser for the library. We also set up a game booth during the fair for the kids also as a summer fundraiser.
