📖 About Annawan-Alba Township Library
Annawan-Alba Township Library serves the residents of Annawan and Alba Township from Suite 2 at 200 North Meadow Lane, a practical address in the heart of this small Henry County community along Illinois Route 6. The library is a township district institution — one of Illinois' oldest forms of local library governance — funded locally and governed by an elected board to ensure it remains accountable to the families it serves. Patrons can borrow books, use public computers and free Wi-Fi, and access Illinois' statewide digital resources. The library's modest size is matched by its community focus: a quiet reading space, children's materials, and a welcoming atmosphere that big-city branches rarely replicate. Henry County residents can obtain a free card and immediately unlock Illinois' digital library network for eBooks, databases, and audiobooks from home.
