2024 marks the 100th anniversary of Rochester Hills Public Library. To help celebrate, the staff at RHPL has been hard at work planning programs, installations, and special events and commemorations to share with our community.

• Community Art Project - Decorate your own Stretch the Giraffe and tell us about an important year in your life. We’ll add your entries to our community timeline.
• Literature-themed cocktails at the Royal Park - Adults can enjoy limited-edition beverages at the Royal Park this summer. $1 from every purchase will be donated to Rochester Hills Public Library to expand and enhance their early literacy storytime sessions.
• 100 Stories Project with RHPL Story Exchange - Record your memories and share your thoughts about the library using our Story Exchange phone in the lobby or call 248-650-0400 from home. Strong and silent type? Check out one of our Centennial Journals to add your thoughts in writing.
