When you begin at the Rock Island Library, you open up worlds of unlimited possibilities. And conveniently enough, that's also the nationwide theme for National Library Week, April 12-18, 2015.  Follow the stories below for a look at the wonderful possibilities for learning and personal enrichment next week: 

Monday: Read with Rover, and a special history program on a World War I flying ace from Illinois, Howard Knotts. 

Tuesday: Toddler Tales at 30/31, and a wonderful Spring craft just right for families at Southwest. 

Wednesday: Toddler Tales and LEGO time at Southwest, a Children's Make-It Craft on marshmallow engineering at Main, and another special local history program, this one on the history of the Rock Island Library. 

Thursday: Teen Superhero Night at Main.

Friday: Toddler Tales at Main.

Saturday: The kick-off to Money Smart Week, with a free Community Shred Day event at Main. Plus, a second chance to make a colorful kite wall hanging at Southwest.
