Come create a special garden rock to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States!

Each participant will decorate a rock featuring a pre‑drawn star design. These patriotic rocks will then be placed throughout the city of Rockford for the community to discover.

When someone finds one, they can snap a picture and tag RPL to show who found it and where it was discovered.

Kids will also receive a second rock to decorate and take home as a free piece of rock art, giving them a fun keepsake from the celebration.

Registration is needed.
Ages 6-10

About the library

Officially opened on May 24, 1923, the Montague Branch Library is the Library’s oldest existing branch library facility. Located on the corner of Winnebago and Montague Streets, this branch serves people living on the south and west sides of Rockford. The two-story brick building has been lovingly restored and contains many of the original oak bookcases and a fireplace. The Montague Branch offers an expanded children’s space including a dedicated play room, a wireless computer area, a classroom and the Constance V. Lane Community Room.
