Bozeman Librarian wins Montana Librarian of the Year
Every year the Montana Library Association recognizes librarians throughout the state that have made significant contributions to libraries and the service they provide. This year, our very own head of the Bozeman Public Library’s Children’s Department, Cindy Christin, won the Sheila Cates Librarian of the Year Award.
Christin has focused on early literacy for kids throughout her 33 years at the Bozeman Public Library. As part of this, she has spearheaded Books with Babies, Early Childhood Community Council, Child Advancement Project, and the Bozeman Public School’s “Read 100” project.

The plan lays out specific projects the city will fund over the next few years, when they will fund them and where the money will come from. Some of the major projects included in the plan include body cameras for the Bozeman Police Department, new fire engines for the fire department and new âquick responseâ vehicles for the department to respond to medical emergencies that donât require a full fire engine.
BOZEMAN- The Bozeman City Commission gave the go-ahead on a fiveâyear Capital Improvements Plan with $206 million in scheduled projects and $192 million in unscheduled projects along with Bozemanâs 30-year push to carbon neutrality.

An amendment was made by Commissioner Terry Cunningham to fund $10 million for affordable housing in Bozeman. Commissioner Michael Wallner made an amendment to fund $500,000 to bike and pedestrian improvements.
Outlined in the initial CIP are improvements to indoor/outdoor aquatics centers so you can enjoy some new things to do at the pool with the kids.
