Richmond Public Library (RPL) is a public library that serves Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The library has four branches in the city: Brighouse (Main), Steveston, Ironwood, and Cambie. RPL also offers weekly outreach service to the Hamilton neighbourhood.
The library has won numerous awards, including the John Cotton Dana Public Relations Award[3] in 2008 for its "Ralphy" library card for kids.
In September 2018, Richmond Public Library placed a book dispensing machine in the Hamilton Community Centre, allowing nearby residents to access the library's collection.[4]
