The future
of the Bettendorf Public Library depends on the support of those
within this community. Although tax dollars fund the basic operation
of the library, we need the help from other income sources in
order to continue our work of helping people to read, learn, and
improve the quality of their lives.
Recognizing
the mission and vision of the Library Foundation, in 1991, Elizabeth
Malmros donated her entire estate to the Bettendorf Public Library
Foundation. She was a charter Trustee of the Bettendorf Public
Library and served on the Board of Trustees until her death.
Her gift totaling $150,000 enabled the foundation to establish
our endowment fund. This generosity paved the way to a bright
future for the library. The Malmros Society recognizes other
major contributors in her name and was created in honor of Mrs.
Malmros' dedication and inspiration.
Sharing
the vision of Elizabeth Malmros are the above contributors.
