Whitefish Community Library

December 22-27 will see a different schedule at the Library.

We’ll be open our regular hours all week with the exception of Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 24 & 25, when the Library will be closed.

We’ll reopen on Friday, the 26th at 11 am until 5 pm, and be open Saturday too (12-5).

Story Circle on Friday is cancelled due to the busy holiday week. After School at the Library and Switch It Up are on hiatus until school recommences in January.

From our staff to you: we wish you a safe and peaceful holiday season.

Ready to pretend? How about some hot chocolate at the new shop in the Children’s area? Props provided assist our youngest patrons to build vocabulary and practice communicating while they pretend to prepare and sell at their own Hot Chocolate stand. Pre-math skills are developed counting and exchanging play money and deciding how many marshmallows to put on top. There’s even practice on a vintage telephone! (Which end is the speaker?)

Watch for new dramatic play scenarios as Miss Gina will change the theme regularly.

Join us for a Chanukah themed Story Time on Wednesday December 17th at 11:00 AM. Chana Wolf will be leading this special story time during Books with Babies but children ages 0-5 are invited to join in on the stories, songs, and games.

Before there was Stumptown Ice Den, there was the Mountain Trails Saddle Club. The history of the club and its log cabin headquarters on Wisconsin Avenue are detailed in two large, lovingly-curated scrapbooks now on display in the Library. They’ll be here for a few months before being archived by Stumptown Historical Society. Come and see them for yourself!

Whitefish Community Library will be closed Thursday and Friday, November 27 and 28, so staff can enjoy the holidays with friends and family. The Library re-opens Saturday, November 29, at noon.

Whitefish Library Staff wish you and yours a peaceful holiday!

We remember our Veterans on November 11. The Library will be closed on this day.

We will reopen on Wednesday, November 12 at 10 a.m.
