The Southwest Branch of the Rock Island Public Library was designed to expand and enhance library services, create a lively and comfortable environment, and to provide a flexible multipurpose space for a growing segment of the city. The addition and remodeling creates a 5,000-sf branch facility which provides full library services including a Children’s Area and Community Room.
Art Glass is incorporated into the community room and reflects the harmony between the built environment and the natural surroundings.
The existing fire station remains while the library provides a dramatic new look for the public facility.
