Bowie Library so much more than the latest best-sellers
By BARBARA GREEN
There is probably no busier place in Bowie than its public library.
It may be someone looking for the latest best-seller or a child enjoying a colorful picture book.
A patron may be using the public computers to search for a new job or it could be a person scouring historical resources researching family genealogy.
Then it could be someone looking for a quiet place to do work on their laptop using the library Wi-Fi.
The Bowie Public Library serves so many needs it certainly qualifies as a primary community asset for not only Bowie, but the entire county. Its card holders span far past the city limits.
Beth Hiatt has been leading library operations since January 2012 when she was named director. However, the library was not new to her; she spent one year working at the library during 2007 before moving to the city office to work.
Hiatt says the whole point of the library is to supply the community with its information, which means it must stay as up-to-date as possible in not only its basic resources, but in technology.

There is a new flower showing up at garden centers that is pure magic, in fact its official name is Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit. If you aren’t familiar with the name, it is a calibrachoa, a petunia relative. Double gives reference to flowers that in this case look like miniature roses.
Magic is your key descriptor telling you that the flower changes colors. The flowers start off a pleasant lemon yellow and then age to a rose pink.
Of course, to get to rose pink you have various shades along the way. Another magical aspect to me, the guru of captivating combinations is that it seems no matter the color you choose it will go with Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit calibrachoa.
