Welcome to One Book, One Bettendorf!
One Book, One Bettendorf is a community-wide reading event. The goal is to have everyone in Bettendorf, age 14 and up, enjoy the shared experience of reading the same book.
The book chosen for this project is This I Believe, a compilation of essays by famous and not-so-famous people, writing about the most personal beliefs that guide their daily lives.
You can pick up a copy of This I Believe at the Bettendorf Public Library, 2950 Learning Campus Dr, Bettendorf.

We also are hosting a number of special events, including a essay reading hosted by Jay Allison and Dan Gediman, the editors of This I Believe.
