We’re excited to announce that the Petersburg Public Library was recently featured on Channel 8 WRIC ABC Richmond! As we celebrate our 100th anniversary this August, this news segment takes a look back at our rich history, highlighting key moments that shaped our journey toward integration.

The feature was thoughtfully covered by reporter Victoria Lucas, who captured the essence of our library’s legacy in the community. In the segment, Victoria explores how we’ve worked tirelessly to promote literacy and ensure that everyone in our community has access to the resources they need. From our modest beginnings to our current role as a vital community cornerstone, the story of our library is one of resilience and growth.

Looking back on 100 years of service, we remember the challenges we’ve overcome and the successes we’ve achieved. Our journey toward integration is a powerful reminder of the strength and determination within our community, and we’re proud to have been a part of this important history.
