Special Programming Series
Illinois Reads
The Moline Public Library will serve as a host site for programming in conjunction with the Illinois Reading Council's Illinois Reads initiative. The yearly statewide project promotes reading for all Illinois citizens. The Council selects 6 books in each age group from birth through adult readers and work of Illinois authors is especially highlighted. For more information on the 6-part series, visit: IL READS
A funding partnership with the Krista Kruse Memorial Fund through The Moline Foundation assures adequate funding is available to support the program locally.

New Face (sort of) @ the Library
There's a new face in our Children's Department. Miss Jessica began working at the Library just in time for August's Harry Potter program (her favorite fantasy series!). Regular patrons may recognize Jessica as a former Moline Public Library intern.
A Quad Cities native, s
he is working toward a Master's degree in Library Science through the UW-Madison with an emphasis on youth services. Her family includes two fur babies, Tigger and Salem.
We are very excited to having Jessica back on board with us.
