Valentine’s Day was the perfect opportunity for the Richmond Public Library to celebrate a love of books.

A new book dispenser was introduced Feb. 14 at the Minoru Centre for Active Living. The dispenser, located on the second floor of the seniors centre, was funded by the City of Richmond and unveiled by Mayor Malcolm Brodie and council members.

Books will be replenished regularly, so stop by to see what’s new. They can be checked out seven days a week during seniors centre hours (7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays), providing a borrowing option outside the library itself. Users can unlock the door with a Richmond Public Library card.

“This dispenser provides an innovative service to better meet the needs of local seniors, their families and their caregivers,” said Susan Walters, Richmond Public Library chief librarian. “We are excited and we hope you are too. Come try out the new book dispenser soon and see what it holds for you!”
