Richmond Public Library

Richmond, California

About

91´«Ã½

Richmond Public Library plans to use the money to provide access to books where children have very limited access to them. The elementary school cannot afford to loan out their materials to students, and many of the students do not have the means to get to a public library. By utilizing the successful partnership of Richmond’s bookmobile librarian with a local school, Montalvin Elementary School, the library aims to help strengthen English language skills for kids and families.
