Join local author and environmental advocate Kate Valentine—founder of the NEO LEAP environmental action organization—as she explores how soil, insects, microorganisms, plants, and trees work together to sustain life on Earth. Her talk emphasizes the urgency of environmental action and highlights easy, earth-friendly habits we can adopt in our own yards. These simple changes not only support a healthier planet but can also lead to more beautiful landscapes with less effort, all while helping to reverse the damage caused by conventional landscaping practices.

About the branch

The library experience for customers of the Richfield Branch Library is eclectic and energizing. A rich collection of books, music and movies complement programs for all ages, including storytime and interactive play opportunities, book discussion, and more. Computers and computer classes, WiFi, printing, copying, scanning, and faxing help to make the Richfield Branch Library a one-stop spot for the community's educational and entertainment needs and interests.

In the community, you will find librarians working closely with Richfield Government and Recreation, the local schools, the Garden Club, Richfield Chamber of Commerce, Richfield Heritage Preserve, and more. At the library, opportunities for individual and family engagement include an extensive NatureConnect interactive space, an ongoing StoryWalk collaboration along the Carter Pedigo Trail, and other hands-on, participatory exploration opportunities. Every time you visit the Richfield Branch Library, there is something to do, play, study, explore, or observe—and the chance to make a memory.
