Letter From The CEO:
Welcome to the merry month of May.
We have an art challenge for you. For a couple of years now we’ve been asking the adults in our community what they would like to see happening in their library—kids, it’s your turn! Pick up some paper and art supplies from us and design your dream library. Any and all great ideas could be incorporated into library services or building design down the line, so give it your best try.
We are now a pickup location for Kidspak, partnering with the Rotary Club of Loveland. If your family needs Kidspak food, we have it here for you. You can pick up your food any time that we’re open.
Summer Learning is coming soon! Everyone is eligible to participate, whether you’re 100 years old or haven’t even celebrated your first birthday. Events for our kids and teens will be held in-person once again this summer. Come talk to us for more details.
We’re grateful that our community’s pandemic outlook continues to improve, but ask that you
remember that we are obligated to follow all state and local public health mandates. At least right now, you’ll need to continue to wear a mask while you’re in the library. We encourage you to check out the County’s health information at Larimer.org for more details.
Amie P.

Hey Kids - Create Your Dream Library!
Have you ever wanted to design your own library? Maybe add a slide or theater for puppet shows? Or a magnificent tree house! There would need to be books there too, of course.
From May 1 – 31 the Berthoud Community Library will provide art supplies for children to create a picture of their dream library. Stop by, create, and share your dream library with us.
We will take the entries to our library board to inform design decisions for the new library building. You never know, your designs and dreams might come true!

Service Spotlight: KidsPak
The Berthoud Community Library is now a location to pick up KidsPak meals!
Feeding the Future. The Loveland Rotary KidsPak provides food bags for hungry students in the Thompson School District, Colorado. They are 100% powered by volunteers!
Loveland Rotary members and community volunteers raise funds, purchase, pack and deliver bags of food for needy children in the Thompson Valley School District serving Loveland and Berthoud, Colorado. Currently they provide over 270 packs of food for hungry children in 21 schools. They hope to expand their numbers, if needed, for the next school year.
Stop by the library and pick up some meals for your kiddos!
