Watts-Midtown Driveway Work

Today, Friday, May 10, crews are filling potholes in the driveway at our Watts-Midtown Branch and the RI YMCA. There is only one lane. Please alternate when entering or leaving the lot. 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.
