Monthly sale of books and other donated items, now held at the Downtown Library, in our 2nd-floor Community Room. Fill a bag for a donation, and benefit special library projects through People Advocating for Library Services (PALS.) PALS donations, memberships, book sale proceeds, and other projects support fine-free lending, special  programs, and events at the Rock Island Public Library. 

Spring cleaning? We do accept donations of used books and other reading materials. Please ensure your donations are in good condition, and meet our donation guidelines (see above.) You can bring donations to a library service desk or donate through curbside pickup.

(Please be kind, and do not leave donation items outside our door or inside book returns.)
