Did you know:

• Since November 2020, the Friends of the Library have operated a bookshop in the library.  It is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

• Volunteers sort donated magazines and books on a daily basis and put them out for sale in the bookshop, so there are regularly new selections on sale.

• Through bookshop sales, book fairs and internet sales, the Friends raised over $54,000 for library programs in 2024.

• In 2024, the bookshop alone raised over $43,000 for library programs.

• In 2024, memberships in all categories totaled over $3,300.

All of these projects allow the Friends to provide materials and programming to the library.

The Friends approved funding 56 projects requested by the library in 2024 for over $57,000.

Membership in the Friends is an affordable way to support the Bettendorf Public Library.

Memberships run for a calendar year.  In addition to supporting the library, your membership offers you the opportunity to attend the Friends preview sale when we have our book fair.

We invite you to join the Friends.
