We
have some very exciting news to share! We are in the process of putting together a brand new
collection of yard games that will be able to be borrowed from the library,
beginning in just a few weeks. Some of the games that will be available include: Bocce, Croquet, Giant Connect Four, Giant Jenga, Giant Checkers, Molkky, Ring Toss, Kan Jam, Giant Yardzee, and more! If you have a favorite yard game you would like us to add, please let us know in the next week and we will consider it. These items will have a check out loan period of one week.

Connecticut Historical Society

Not only are our museum passes back, but we have added a few brand new ones that you are not used to seeing here at the Richmond Memorial Library. One such pass is for the Connecticut Historical Society. Our library museum pass admits up to 2 adults and 4 children into the Connecticut Historical Society for free. As a reminder, holds cannot be placed on library museum passes as they are available on a first come, first served basis. There is a one pass per family limit and passes check out for a period of two days.
