Watts-Midtown Driveway Work

Work begins soon on repairing the driveway leading into our Watts-Midtown Branch and the RI YMCA. When weather allows work to start, please note that there will be only 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. Thank you for your patience as the YMCA repairs this driveway. 

Librarian Picks

Let us be your shopper!

Out of ideas? Read your favorite series all the way through? Let our Reference, Young Adult, or Children's Department staff pick some titles for you. You tell us what you like, and we'll introduce you to more authors and movie makers. It's like having a personal shopper for your Curbside or in the buildings pick-up!

Fill out the form below, and we will pick out five titles for you to try. Once they're on hold for you, you'll receive a notification, and you can set an appointment to pick them up curbside. Enjoy something new!

Please let us know what kind of items you're looking for, including if you would like a mix (i.e., 3 books and 2 DVDs). We will recommend up to 5 items per request.
