Rockford Public Library is focused on meeting people where they are, eliminating barriers of:
Transportation ConstraintsMobility IssuesProximity to Branch Locations

RPL will expand reach to more places then ever!

For the first time ever, we can bring Library services and collections to neighborhoods that have never had walkable proximity to one of RPL’s brick and mortar branches. We will collaborate with different organizations to help pinpoint possible stops and relevant programs according to the needs of each community.
