Rock Down to 16th Ave: An Update on the New East Moline Public Library

745 16th Ave, East Moline, IL 61244 is officially the address of the East Moline Public Library.

Summer construction continued on the new library with a few exciting new updates, including officially designating an address, beginning construction for replacing the roof, working on the construction of the new addition, and starting the construction on a new elevator shaft. The construction crew has been hard at work over the summer ensuring that the library will open on schedule for patrons starting early next year. Stay tuned for more updates!
