The Richmond Public Library made me excited to read, which inspired a life-long love of learning.

Since retiring from Worcester with its large library to Richmond, I have depended on interlibrary loan for many books. At the same time, I have benefited from the wonderful staff and programs here at our small but gracious Richmond Free Library. Libraries are places both to feed the individual intellect and to engage the community. They are vital across all of Massachusetts for many, many reasons. We depend on them, and we depend on our elected representatives to support them. Thank you!

My library book club keeps me connected to my community, offers me opportunities to think and grow, and keeps me laughing.
