Rock Island Public Library hosts Community Comforts Drive [Video]

The Rock Island Public Library invites you to support others in our community by participating in its Community Comforts Drive.

Access to non-food personal care, cleaning supplies, hygiene items and basic household supplies isn’t always easy or affordable for some in our community. The library is taking donations of household supplies and personal care items during the month of February for the Heart of Hope Outreach Center and the Rocky Resource Room at Rock Island High School.
