Library Events

Bettendorf Public Library events will spark curiosity on a wide range of topics while entertaining and engaging community members of all ages. Make new friends over coffee at our senior social event or engage in play at children's Lego club, learn new things from a local expert presentation on a topic of interest, or dance away at an outdoor concert. Every program the library offers is a high-quality, free event that supports social, educational, and/or cultural opportunities for the Bettendorf and greater Quad Cities community. 

View our library events calendar for a list of all the upcoming free library events and programs. 

Library-sponsored programs and events are funded through the Friends of the Bettendorf Library, The Bettendorf Library Foundation, or through sponsorships from local businesses and library supporters.

Using the Library Events Calendar

Each listing includes the intended audience and a program description.  

All programs are open to the general public, but some events require pre-registration to ensure enough space or materials for participants. If registration is required, it is noted in the program description. Just click the registration button and enter your name and phone number. If the program is full, interested individuals will be added to a wait list. 

You can filter events according to your own preferences. Sort by intended age group, date range, or event type. You can also toggle between a list view and a calendar view. Finally, you can add library events to your calendar, share them to Facebook, and email event details, each with one easy click of a button.
