Event Details

National Library Week (April 3- 9, 2022) is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions and promote library use and support.  

The theme for National Library Week 2022 is "Connect With Your Library."  In Rock Island and elsewhere, library workers continue to exceed their communities' demands and adapt resources and services to meet community needs during these challenging times. Whether you visit us in person or virtually, libraries offer endless opportunities to transform lives through education and lifelong learning. 

Connect with your Rock Island Library in person, online, or via our Facebook and Instagram pages, and check out all the great services and resources we offer!
