Richmond Reads- A Community One Book Program

Richmond Reads is a community one-book program designed specifically for the Richmond Memorial Library community. The goal of the program is for the community to join together in reading the chosen title, and then to participate in subsequent discussions and programs.

The 2026 Reveal Event will take place on Wednesday, July 8 at 7 pm in the Reading Room! 

Join us for light refreshments, giveaways, and the title reveal!
Free to attend and all are welcome.
Copies of the book will be for sale for cash, check or Venmo.

Stay tuned for information about the 2026 program!
