The Library is 75 Years Old

On By

Did you know that the Richmond Public Library has been around fro 75 years?

    The library became a “Legal Library” in October of 1938 and now, 75 years later, there is still a library in Richmond Kansas!

   The library will be having an “Open House’ to celebrate our anniversary on Saturday, November 9th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

    It is the hope of the current library board and staff to have some of the past librarians attend this event.

    There will be a display of photo albums the library has kept over the past few years. A book of library history and hopefully pictures of the past “Paid Librarians” will be displayed. starting with

 Mrs. Marguerite Roberts, who was librarian from 1954 to 1972. 

     There will of course be a cake, and some other refreshments. Anyone who attends the Open House will be entered into a drawing for the door prizes.

   Come and Celebrate 75 years with us!

The kids trick-or-treat the businesses here on Central Street, not sure who has more fun the kids or the adults handing out the candy. The kids go to the Richmond Community Building where they have the meals and wheels program and hand out pumpkins to the seniors too.
