The new design was planned and laid out by the library’s Teen Leadership Committee, with input from focus groups at Bettendorf High School and Bettendorf Middle School. Thank you to the Scott County Regional Authority and the Bettendorf Rotary Club for making it possible!

There are only six seats left for our free screening of the award-winning documentary "PIEOWA: A Piece of America!" Learn how pie can unite us and meet filmmaker Beth Howard. Audiences and critics agree that “it’s a tonic for what ails us.”

Howard spent four years living in the iconic American Gothic House in Eldon, Iowa, where she ran the Pitchfork Pie Stand. She also embarked on a round-the-world tour in 2015 teaching pie classes and promoting world peace. Today, she divides her time between an Iowa farm and Los Angeles, and she continues to write, bake pie, share her film, and advocate for a better, kinder world.

This free screening will be held at the Bettendorf Public Library on Saturday, May 30, at 2 p.m.

Pie will be available at the event, and registration is strongly encouraged to ensure we have enough pie for all attendees! Register at: https://buff.ly/IxSkP9j
