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.

Voter Registration at RIPL

Did you know you can register to vote at many libraries?  Voter registrar training for our library staff starts in April. Check back in May to see which Rock Island Public Library locations have a Deputy Registrar. 

When can I register? Voter Registration is open year round, except:

  • During the 27-day period just prior to an election;
  • During the two (2) days after such an election.
