The Second Century Club
The Reading Room of the Richmond Public Library, 1914. The newly-built Carnegie Library was located at Fourth and Nevin Street.
In 2004, the Foundation launched a fundraising campaign that would both introduce ourselves to the city’s residents and businesses, and mark the beginning of our library’s second century. (The photo on the right reveals what our library looked like more than a century ago.)
Over the next five years, the Second Century Club would raise nearly $50,000 in contributions from 64 donors. These funds helped the Library expand its collections of resources dedicated to supporting student achievement and business success in Richmond.
We are grateful to the many individuals and businesses that contributed to the Second Century Club.
