Welcome to Richmond Free Library's website
in
Richmond,
Vermont! We are located on Bridge Street in the village of Richmond
across
from the Town Hall. The Library provides a current and
diverse collection for all ages. The staff's mission is to help
patrons utilize the libary's resources and to provide opportunities for
enrichment, entertainment and education.
A peek at our picture books
Open Mic: This Friday, March 22, at 7 pm we will be hosting this month’s Open Mic.
These evenings are great fun. Come down and do your thing – or support your friends
and neighbors. (Bringing a snack to share would be nice, too, but not required.)
Free art class: HomeschoolKidsConnect at theLibrary program at the Richmond Free
Library on Friday, April 18 at 10:30. Join Teresa Davis of Davis Studios to learn
about masks and mask making. Envision and create your own mask to take home.
Ages 8-15. Please call to register.
Book Discussion: The Ditchdigger’s Daughter will be discussed on April 14 at 7:30pm
at the library. As always, multiple copies of the book are available near the circulation
desk. Book summary: This memoir describes how, with seemingly unfailing energy and
determination, Donald Thornton, working two jobs, saw each of his six daughters obtain
an education and become established in a successful career. Using their musical talent, the
Thornton girls gave performances for a number of years to help finance their schooling.
Donald and his wife, Asker, gave their children the strength to achieve their goals in
the face of hardships, not the least of which were racial and gender discrimination.
Wall Displays: The art students of Richmond Elementary School will be
displaying their 2D and 3D art with us in April.
Upcoming events: On Wednesday, April 2, from 6-8:30 the North Branch Nature
Center under the auspices of Talks and Walks will be holding a workshop to
educate the public about the annual spring migration of frogs and salamanders.
The program will include information about the different species, where they are
likely to be encountered and the protocol for the monitoring/rescue of them.
And don’t forget Earth Day on April 12! A celebration of the Earth will be
held in our community room that afternoon from 12-3.
On Friday April 25 from 6:30-9 the Audubon Center will present a program
entitled Wildlife at Home in the community room. All are welcome to
attend.
