From the GirlsRockRVA website:

The Free Richmond Instrument Lending Library (FRILL) is launching this Saturday at the Main Branch of the Richmond Public Library – 101 East Franklin Street – from noon-3pm.

Richmond youth ages 8-18 can check out instruments from the Girls Rock! collection for free – guitars, basses, keyboards, drumkits, and amplifiers – plus pick up instructional materials, learn how to set up the instrument at home, and check out the library’s holdings of sheet music and music instruction materials. You can have each item for a two-week period, with the option to renew for an additional two weeks. Instrument returns must take place during FRILL hours of operation, every other Saturday from noon-3pm at Richmond Public Library’s Main Branch.

What you need to bring: A Richmond Public Library card, and a parent or guardian if you are under 18, to sign the FRILL release form. Consider how you will transport items home, as some of them are big and heavy!

Our supplies are limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. We hope to see you there early! Check out the flyer below to learn about the awesome People’s Library event happening at the same time as our FRILL launch – we are having a shared reception at 3 pm!
