Since 1889, the Richmond Memorial Library has been the cultural heart of Batavia and Genesee County. For more than a century and a quarter, the library has nurtured the love of books, of learning, of adventure, and of our cultural and literary heritage. It serves all residents without regard to income or status or background.

With the creation of the Richmond Memorial Library Foundation, we now have a legal entity that can receive your gifts, donations, and bequests and invest them for the future. You can earmark your gift for specific areas – our collection, the children’s room, special programs, landscaping, bricks and mortar – or you can leave that to the discretion of the library’s director, trustees, and foundation board.

Read our brochure, with numbers showing library use.

The Richmond Memorial Library Foundation is a New York not-for-profit corporation recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible charitable foundation.
 Please consider the Richmond Memorial Library Foundation when drawing up your will or making charitable contributions.
