Social Worker

NOTICE: The Library does not currently have a Social Worker on staff.

In October 2021, The Library hired a licensed social worker for a three-year period with the support of temporary American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds allocated by the Davenport City Council. 

The Social Worker resigned in March 2025 and the position was advertised as a temporary one-year role due to restrictions on the encumbrance and expenditure of the federal ARPA dollars. We conducted interviews, but after careful consideration decided not to fill the position due to the limited pool of qualified applicants coupled with concerns regarding the temporary nature of the role. Library leadership is exploring alternative options to provide social work assistance, including requesting funding from the City's general fund in FY2027.

If you require assistance, please refer to the Social Work LibGuide or contact The Library at (563) 326-7832.
