✨Introducing…the new Richmond Public Library!
We are so excited to share our reimagined brand identity.
Richmond Public Library is and always will be a place for imagination, knowledge, and community; who we are is part of every borrowed book, Summer Reading Club, storytime, gaming tournament, and more. The bold letters that make up RPL represent a vessel for all of these stories, and how we create them together at Richmond Public Library.
We can’t wait to write the next chapter with you.
Swipe to see more of the new look, and watch this space as we announce more big news very soon. 👀
23 years overdue. Two books. A cross-country comeback from Toronto (thanks @canadapostagram !).
Proof that it’s never too late to return your library books because RPL is fine-free! Is there a better way to save $3,358?
Welcome home. 💌
