Richmond Public Library

ONLINE DAY OF GIVING ESTABLISHED TO SUPPORT

RICHMOND PUBIC LIBRARY

Richmond Public Library is raising funds through a Library Giving Day campaign. This one-day-online fundraising event will occur on Thursday, April 23, 2020 and will encourage patrons and library Lovers to make a gift to their individual library . This campaign reminds us that libraries, small and large, serve as a cornerstone for our communities. In addition to well-loved books, many libraries offer innovative programs that promote lifelong learning, connect patrons to technology, and advance knowledge. Always remember

“Reading can take you all the places you can’t afford to go!”

To donate go to our website at richmond.mykansaslibrary.org  and click the librarygivingday link.
