Rock Island Public Library

More Info

General Info

The Rock Island Public Library first opened to the public on November 25, 1872, in a rented location in downtown Rock Island. Because the pre-existing private library donated a location, books and the services of their director, Miss Ellen Gale, the Rock Island Library became the first public library to open for business in the State of Illinois. In 1903, the Main Library opened. Since our first days, we've continued to evolve, offering new services and locations to meet the needs of many generations. Our locations now include Rock Island Main Library at 401 19th Street, the 30/31 Branch at 3059 30th Street the Southwest Branch at 9010 Ridgewood Road. See Branch Services for more information.
