The Friends of the Richmond Library is a 501(c) (3) Ch. 180 tax exempt corporation whose sole purpose is to support and enhance library service for the Richmond Free Public Library by fundraising and volunteering. Our tax exempt number is: 04-3365378

Our current activities included purchasing seasonal raffle baskets. Every time a patron comes to the library, they have an opportunity to put at ticket in the can for a chance to “win” the seasonal basket. This is not a fund raiser but just a bit of fun for the library’s patrons.
We raised money by selling Richmond photo cards, Note cards donated from Cane Inc., 01254 hats, Lunch bags donated by Blue Q, and sales from our book sale cart located right outside the library door. Also thanks to the former Richmond Civic Association we have copies of the book, Richmond
Massachusetts: The Story of a Berkshire Town and Its People by Katharine Annin to sell.
