We want to thank Trinity for their continued sponsorship of the Summer Reading Program.  This year was another huge success – we had over 2,000 children and over 500 Young Adults partcipate in this year’s Summer Reading Program!  We are very grateful for Trinity’s generosity and supprt.

A great big THANK YOU to the SCRA who again, helped out the Foundation with another grant!   We just learned that our request for funding for the new QUAD (Teen area) computer stations as well as the fabulous theater projection system was granted.  Over $18,000 will be granted to the Foundation, bringing the total support from SCRA in the last year to over $40,000.00!  We feel so fortunate to have such unwavering support from the Scott County Regional Authority.

Well, we found out who can spell at the annual QC Spells event on April 29^th!  Twelve teams of 3 spellers, each sponsored by businesses or service organizations had a wonderful time at our Spelling Bee.  The winner was The Bettendorf Kiwanis, team name – “Spellcheck”, with our very own Maria Levetzow spelling the winning word: reciprocity.  Also spelling for Kiwaniis was   Rosa Brunsma  and  Kristen Crawford. Congratulations Kiwaniis! 

Pat Miller from The Community Foundation of the Great Riverbend presented Debby Stafford with a check for $70.00.  The staff at the Community Foundation have a monthly Denim Day Grant and the Bettendorf Library Foundation was selected as this month’s  recipient!  This check will be added into the Fund the library has with the CFGRB.
