Watts-Midtown Driveway Work

Work began this morning on repairing the driveway leading into our Watts-Midtown Branch and the RI YMCA. Please note that there is one lane in and out of the parking lot. Please alternate when entering or leaving the lot, and note that there is no left hand turn onto the drive off 30th Street. 

Remember that you can return items to any Rock Island Library, even if it was checked out at the branch. Miss Ranell's Friday storytime will move to our Downtown Children's Library for Friday. Thank you for your patience as the YMCA repairs this driveway.

Event Details

Bee-There for a Reader this May! Bee-lieve it or not, sometimes dogs really do eat library books and homework! Help a child out and pay-it-forward for a young reader with replacement book fees. Pick a tag from our reader tree and choose how much you'd like to donate. At the end of the month, children participating in this program will receive a letter from RIPL, announcing the good news of their restored library account all thanks to an anonymous fellow library user's gift. Patrons may make donations at the Downtown Library, Southwest Branch, and Watts Midtown Branch.

This program benefits young readers ages 6-17, and supports lost book amnesty.
