Global Gathering Ireland is a two-month celebration of the culture, heritage, and traditions of Ireland.

Throughout September and October, the Bettendorf Public Library will feature programs and activities related to Ireland and its people. There will be displays of objects and art throughout the Library, as well as new library items available for checkout.

Our purpose is not only to enhance knowledge and understanding about Ireland, but to respect and appreciate the diversity our neighbors with Irish roots bring to the community.

2023 Global Gathering Ireland is funded by the Bettendorf Public Library Foundation and supported by our Title Sponsor: Northwest Bank & Trust and Presenting Sponsor: Iowa American Water Company.
