We love this book and love seeing visitors to Beyer Stadium!
Next on our library tour is Ethan Bryan's A year of Playing Catch. One of the most heartfelt books in our collection, it illustrates that baseball is more than just a game. Find links to our library fundraiser in our bio and help build our collection. #IWBCReads #ReadBaseball

🚨 In my first Sound of Next America city study, I highlighted how Rockford, Illinois, once a manufacturing hub, is reinventing itself through community-driven cultural revival, creative entrepreneurship, and historic venues. This transformation fosters resilience, affordable living, and a vibrant arts scene for emerging artists.
Many thanks to @gorockford, @EmilyHurd, @TheNorwegian4, @IWBC4Me, and Hard Rock Rockford for their assistance. More soon.
