LOVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY PROGRAM GUIDE JUNE & JULY 2021
WHAT’S HAPPENING
at your Library?
LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Libraries have long demonstrated agility in innovating services,
collections and programs to meet the changing needs of the
community. That said, the unprecedented change over the past year
has given libraries an opportunity to address disparities, grow
partnerships and transform communities like never before. If you
haven’t been in the library in a while, I want to welcome you back. If
you’ve continued to use our services virtually or in person over the
past year, I’m so glad we could stay connected.
When the library first closed in March of 2020, many imagined it would
only be for a few weeks. We quickly realized that access to electronic
resources including downloadable books, audiobooks, videos, music,
tutoring and databases would be of increased importance to everyone
staying at home. We also recognized that for community members
without access to the digital world, the public library is one of the only
places to connect with friends and family, find resources and
assistance, and participate in remote work and learning. Early efforts to keep our community online included
expanding WIFI access to reach outside of the library building, reopening the public computing center,
increasing phone and chat services, and creating thousands of student success cards to ensure every child in
Thompson School District has access to resources to learn.
Loveland Public Library was one of the first libraries in our region to launch curbside service in June, allowing
customers to call ahead and request items to pick up outside the building, followed a few weeks later with
“grab and go” access to our physical collections. Through all phases of reopening, library staff followed strict
guidelines to maintain an environment where patrons felt both welcome and safe.
Access to resources soon expanded to include a range of programs. Our talented children’s librarians created
virtual storytimes, science experiments, crafts and author visits. Teens picked up hundreds of “take and make”
activity kits and volunteer projects to try new skills and reconnect with the community by creating items for
seniors, shelter pets and people experiencing homelessness. A “Pop-Up” computer lab brought laptops out to
locations throughout Loveland to support veterans, students and seniors with knowledgeable staff and digital
tools. Each day, staff smiled through masks, Plexiglas and computer screens to let patrons know they were
available to help and to keep in touch.
While the pandemic laid bare stark gaps in access and connectivity, Loveland Public Library remained
committed to supporting everyone in our community through access to information, materials, technology and
staff experts. Partnerships with local businesses, schools, and non-profits made possible new services and
programs, as the pandemic strengthened our connections and presented new opportunities to collaborate. As
the world reopens, we are excited to reaffirm our commitment with a return to many pre-pandemic services
such as book clubs, summer events and meeting rooms. Through crises and calm, the library will continue to
inform, enrich and inspire people of all ages and in doing so, commit to a more equitable, engaged community.
I am thrilled that this summer we are relaunching in-person, mostly outdoor (weather permitting) storytimes
and programs for our summer learning program. As you take a look through all the activities, classes and
programs I hope you find something that will inspire you to experience the library in a new way. I invite you to
discover something new at your library each time you visit.
I am so happy to extend an invitation to all members of our community and beyond, to welcome you to be a
part of Loveland Public Library’s story, where you belong.
