Welcome to spring—we’ll hope for April showers to bring out our flowers.

You all know that we’re a public library, but you may not know that we’re also a Plant Select

Demonstration Garden. Plant Select is a collaboration between CSU and the Denver Botanic Gardens that identifies plants that grow particularly well in our area. These plants are drought-tolerant, suited to our altitude, and support our pollinators. When you visit the library, be sure to browse our grounds and look for the Plant Select tags on our plants to get ideas for your own gardens.

Except for a few more furniture changes, our interior renovation is complete. We’re operating at our regular capacity again, so don’t hesitate to come in and enjoy the new interior.

Amie P.

Library CEO

Co-Hosted by Berthoud Local & Berthoud Community Library with Beth Conrey.

This class will be on April 1st from 1:00PM-3:00PM. Registration is required.

This class will provide the student with an overview of beekeeping regulations in the community, the basics of bee biology, equipment, needs and sourcing, hive placement criteria and the importance of pertinent note taking.

Beth began keeping bees 20 years ago and is the owner of Bee Squared Apiaries. She started with 2 hives and has expanded to 125 hives in various locations in Weld, Larimer and Boulder Counties.

This podcast is not just about library 'stuff', but about the wonderful community we live in. Straight from our CEO, Amie!

We're here for you, to support you, to inform you, and to care for you the best way we know how.
