Introducing The Quad
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
Bettendorf Public Library is bringing a fresh start to our young adult services. The Quad is a brand new teen center built around the multimedia needs of today’s youth. It will be at the heart of our young adult community and represents our focus on the four main values of the Quad: Reading, Learning, Entertaining and Growing.
The Quad is a dynamic space where teens can use their library their way. They will be able to study, research, hang out, have fun, and best of all—read! We are excited about the new opportunities the Quad will present us with in the future. We hope you are too.
The Quad will launch during Teen Read Week, October 17th—23rd. Watch for details about our grand opening and special activities planned for that week.
Below is a video depicting the initial conception of the Quad. You will have to visit our grand opening to see all the wonderful improvements we have made on the final design of our new teen center!
