The mission of the Rockford Public Library is to educate, inform, entertain, and culturally enrich the people of our community. Our goal is to serve the public by welcoming all people to RPL by providing stimulating, educational opportunities to increase cultural awareness and encourage civility. We celebrate diverse cultures and their traditions through immersive activities and events.
Rockford Public Library is committed to joining Rockford area organizations and businesses in fostering welcoming and inclusive environments. Libraries are taking active roles as safe spaces for all. Here at RPL, LGBTQ+ people can gather, host events, have access to essential information and resources, and be a part of their growing community.
