  • Welcome to the RMS Media Center!

    The Media Center provides Richards students with the opportunity to become effective users of information and lifelong learners.  We support the curriculum of GCPS by providing services that promote literacy instruction for students and encourage a love of reading and of libraries.  Our goal is to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for the entire school community.

    Please let us know how the media staff can assist you.
