RVC Center for Learning in Retirement

"This is Ed Stein. On Tuesday, Feb. 10, I attended a CLR-sponsored tour of the new downtown Rockford Public Library. It was very interesting. It highlighted the transformation of the library from a traditional single function library to a multifunction community service facility. Everything is new and has been modernized. Besides the traditional library functions, it has a beautiful area where youngsters can explore books and they can play. It also has an area where you can learn and experiment with various technologies such as 3D printers. Finally, some of the views of the city are beautiful. Kudos to the City of Rockford for the transformation. Excellent choice CLR for providing a very interesting experience."
