Our MISSION
Dubuque Area Library Information Consortium (DALINC) is a non-profit organization that exists to encourage, coordinate, and develop programs and services for librarians and other professionals in order for libraries to meet the educational, informational, and recreational needs of their communities.
Adult Programming
Each year, we select a thought-provoking book to spark dialogue on topics that matter. Connect with others at book discussions, author talks, and special events designed to inspire lifelong learning and community engagement.
2026 programming was inspired by The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson
Kid's Programming
Children and families can explore each year’s featured book through hands-on activities, storytimes, and creative projects. Our goal is to nurture a love of reading while building connections across the community—because big ideas start with little readers.
2026 programming was inspired by Berry Song by Michaela Goade.
