The Boulder Public Library is planning a series of public events this March, as part of its 50th anniversary celebration. Friends of the Library, a supplemental service organization working with the library board, has announced a series of Montana focused movie screenings, and will confirm more commemorative programming after their upcoming meeting on Mar. 7.
“We’re not necessarily a quiet library,” said Librarian Jodi Smiley. “We like to have a bit of life in here.”
Friends of the Library actively plans community programming, and aids the library with project development and fundraising efforts. For example, it raised $50,000 in 2013 for a building addition, and presently runs a book distribution program in partnership with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which aims to provide free books to community children aged 0-5.
