The 15th is International Game Day @ Your Library, the library will be open from 12:00 to 3:00 for this event. The 21st at 12:00 will be an adult Fall craft and food day. Finally on the 24th there will be a Thanksgiving craft day for the kids.

Also in November the library employees and board members will be selling tickets for our Christmas Raffle. Come to the library and see what we have this year for our raffle items, there’s sure to be something for everyone!…

October is almost here and what do we have planned? The library has several things planned for October.
First up will be Senior Craft day on Thursday, October 9th. We will be painting gourd bird houses after senior meals in the back of the Richmond Community building.
On Friday, October 10th the library will be having a Kansas Notable Book Food Fest. The library has purchased five of the 2014 Kansas Notable books, two of these books are cookbooks. The library was able to purchase the Notable books with the help of a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. We are asking those who would like to join us to pick a recipe from one of the cookbooks and bring it on October 10th. We will sample the food and talk about the books.
Wednesday, October 15th at 4:00 the kids will be making Halloween crafts. There will be green monsters and Halloween stand ups to color your own.
Monday, October 20th at 4:00 kids will again be making Halloween crafts, this time they will be making ghosts.
Wednesday, October 22nd at 4:00 the teens will be making coffins and spider ornaments.
October 29, 30 and 31st the librarians will be in Wichita attending the State Library conference, so library hours will change a little bit that week. Watch for postings.…

The Richmond Public Library will be holding a Senior Craft day the second Thursday of each month at the Richmond Community Building in conjunction with the Richmond Nutrition site held at the Community Building.

This month we made gnomes [there were some request for these]. During the craft we showed some other crafts we can make and everyone present voted on the crafts for the next three months.

Crafts will be on the second Thursday of the month at around noon. October 9th we will be painting gourd bird houses.

Want to join us for crafts? Just come on by, or better yet order a meal for that day and eat at the center and then join us for the craft.
