On Wednesday October 14th, the Rosebud County Library Board met at Bicentennial Library in Colstrip. Bicentennial Library and Rosebud County Library share a five member board of trustees who generally meet on the second Wednesday of each month, with the exception of the month of July. The April and October meetings are held in Colstrip, while all other meetings are held in the Rosebud County Library basement. We just recently changed our meeting times from 1:00pm to 5:30pm in hopes that it would be easier for people to attend the meetings and it might give more people an opportunity to join the board should they so desire.

On this sacred soil they established a country called America, that would be forever free.

The pink ribbons in their bow fold came in the mid-80’s not long after tying yellow ribbons on fences and trees was begun in support of US hostages taken captive in Iran.
