WHAT’S HAPPENING
                                        at your Library?
                          A LOOK BACK ON 2019
The Loveland Public Library’s mission is to inform, enrich, and inspire
a strong, engaged community. Service to the community is at the
heart of what we do, but understanding what our community
members want and need is the key to providing programs, collections,
spaces and services that make a meaningful difference in people’s
lives. The public library, by its nature, provides a forum for people from
all walks of life to come together to explore their world, learn new
skills and build connections with each other. One of our key strategic
focus areas is to build community through connecting individuals
through shared experiences. Over the course of 2019, we invited
groups of people to sit down together and share their aspirations for
Loveland, delve into what is preventing us from reaching our
aspirations now, and discovering ways to join together to make
Loveland a thriving community where everyone feels safe and
welcome. In addition to the five Community Conversations we facilitated in 2019, we were also present at local
events including the Farmer’s Market, Summer Concerts, and the Cherry Pie Festival to gather comments from
people about the kind of community they want to live in.

We heard from hundreds of people who shared their thoughts with us including two conversations with young
people who serve on the City’s Youth Advisory Board and Library’s Teen Advisory Board, along with seniors,
parents of young children, millennials and empty nesters. We heard from people who have lived in Loveland for
many years, and newcomers who chose to move to Loveland to be close to family and enjoy our beautiful
outdoor opportunities.

In 2020, we will continue to hold conversations and will reach out to population groups we didn’t hear from in
2019. We will also share what we’ve heard with other community stakeholders including City leaders, public
safety partners, educators and business leaders who share our vision of developing partnerships to foster
community connections. Loveland is my hometown and I am proud of the respectful, thoughtful and
inspirational conversations that have taken place and I share the aspiration to live in a safe, thriving, and
welcoming community for myself, my family and all who call Loveland home.

INTRODUCING THE LIBRARY’S NEW

SEED LIBRARY
  Welcome to the world of saving and sharing
   seeds! Upcycling old library card catalogue
   cabinets, patrons will be able to “check out”
 packets of vegetable, flower, and herb seeds.
    Unlike more conventional library items, the
         process of ‘borrowing’ seeds does not
       involve due dates! Instead patrons may
  select up to 5 varieties of seed to take home
      to plant. If they let some of the resulting
harvest run to seed, they can then collect and
‘return’ these to the library for others to enjoy.

  LAUNCH: MARCH 16 - 20
                             Library Galleria

                                                                                     pg. 2
