September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. To celebrate, Richmond Public Library has embarked on a sweet collaboration with Gelati Celesti.

Sign up for a library card at any RPL branch and you’ll receive a bookmark for a free scoop at any Gelati Celesti location.

Already have a card? Try the new RPL-inspired flavor, Ripple’s Choco-lit Cherry Pie. Library staff and patrons taste-tested and named the creation.

Other celebratory events include special storytimes with Ripple at each branch. RPL will also pop up at events around town this month, spreading the word on the joys of having a library card.
