Some Rockford residents think it’s not too late to stop the Rockford Public Library from closing the books on two west side branches.
A campaign to save the Rock River and Rockton Centre library branches from permanent closure is underway. Bill Rose, a Rockford alderman, said that closing the branches doesn’t solve the libraries long term financial problems.
“We know COVID is gonna impact us but we can't be a top community when we're closing libraries,” Rose said.
