If all goes well with scheduling different work crews, the library’s interior remodel will begin during February.

In order to minimize disruptions, we will close the library for public access for two weeks. We will still provide curbside service for checkout, printing, and faxing during that time, but no member of the public will be able to browse in the building and our classes or events will be canceled.

Since we don’t want to cancel any classes or events until we absolutely have to, we’re waiting until we have a firm start date to announce the closure. If your class or event requires registration, we’ll be in touch if we have to cancel. For any drop-in classes, or if you just want to come visit, be sure to check the library’s website and social media for closure updates.

We look forward to revealing our updated and streamlined space with you soon. In the meantime, come hang out with us!

Amie P.

Library CEO

COMING IN 2023! The Berthoud Community Library and A Little Help are partnering on a library delivery program in Berthoud.

If you live in Berthoud, are unable to get out in the community, and are interested in having library materials delivered to your home, contact the Berthoud Community Library at berthoudcommunitylibrary@gmail.com or 970-532-2757 to be added to our interest list.

We’re working on maximizing every square inch of space in our building, and that means you’ll see some interior renovations happening soon.
