[matcom]

<snip>

Bettendorf woman charged with felony theft for stealing nearly 450 books from Quad-City public libraries has been sentenced to three years probation.

Kristin Grace, 37, was sentenced in Scott County District Court, and still faces charges in Illinois.

She was arrested Nov. 21, two days after Bettendorf police said they found the items, mostly cookbooks, during a search of her apartment. She was taken to the Scott County Jail and was given a pretrial release. As part of her sentencing that took place Thursday, Grace must provide restitution to Bettendorf and Davenport public libraries.
