Richmond Public Library’s Summer Reading Program is coming!

From announcement:

Richmond Public Library would like to invite all childcare programs in
the city to join us for “Amazing Tales @your library” beginning June 18!
Directors, we encourage you to get ALL your classrooms signed up!

Here’s what you need to do:

* Visit your local Richmond Public Library Branch or call Krista
Dawson at Main (646-4147) to get your logs and daycare directions

* Have each classroom teacher read aloud 30 books (or for
school-age classrooms, read a chapter of a novel)

* Log each entry

* Turn in your completed logs before August 6th

* Earn a bag with 5 books for the classroom!

We also have some wonderful programs free of charge. Check with your
local branch to register. The full schedule will be available on our
website and in the Check-It-Out brochures as well as our Summer Reading
brochure. Pick them up at any branch.

Happy Reading!

Drive-Thru Book Drive At Main Library

From the Richmond Public Library Blog:

The Friends of the Richmond Public Library are holding another Drive-Thru Book Drive at the Main Library on Saturday, May 21st from 10 am to 2 pm. Bring your unwanted, gently loved books, DVDs, and CDs (no text books or magazines, please) to help raise money for library services and programs. Your donation is tax-deductible and the drive is conveniently scheduled for any spring cleaning you might need to do! You won’t even have to get out of your car. Just drive by the library’s rear loading dock, which is accesible from 1st Street or from Main Street behind the Library.
