Westover Hills Branch of Richmond Public Library

Have you checked out the Westover Hills branch of the Public Library lately? When I started to cut my spending, the first thing to go was book purchases. Why buy when I could go online, place a hold on a book and then go pick it up from my local branch? They’ll transport a book from any of their branches and it usually is available within a day or two.

But there’s a lot more going on at the library then just picking up books. Need to send a fax? Want to get on the internet or take computer classes? Need a meeting room? They have it all at the local library!Westover Hill Branch Library
