The Bettendorf Library is hosting a celebration of Charlie Chaplin's silent films this afternoon and evening. They've made this clever video as well. This is one of those great examples of the small world that is the Quad Cities, as this video involves people from my childhood and adult life who are connected by the Bettendorf Library.
There are activities in both the afternoon and evening - drop in for any or all!
All library events are free, family friendly, and open to the public.
