Whitefish Community Library

We’ll be closed Thursday, November 26 – Sunday, November 29 for the Thanksgiving Holiday, so pop in to get what you’ll need over the long weekend: books, CDs, DVDs or even a Verizon Jetpack hotspot or iPad, because we have those too! (See the blog post from 11/10).

Know that we are so grateful for you, our patrons. You’ve made difficult times better with your patience, good cheer, and appreciation. From all of us at the Library: we wish you a cozy and peaceful Thanksgiving.

Winter Recess starts this week and we’re ready with activities no matter what weather Mother Nature throws at us. Join us in the Library’s Back Yard (east side of the Library) at 11 a.m. on Thursday this week, and on Thursdays after the Thanksgiving break.

WCL cardholders can now bring the internet home thanks to a pilot program by the Montana State Library. Available for checkout are 4 Verizon Jetpack hotspots – devices that provide internet service when a cell tower is within range – and 2 iPad tablets. HP laptops from the State Library are on their way and will be available soon. Here are some more details about the device lending program:

• Patrons with a WCL library card in good standing can check out one or more devices for 14 days. Temporary cards are not eligible for this service.

• Items MUST be returned to the Circulation desk inside the Library. Remember that you can call ahead (406-862-9914) or ring the doorbell for curbside service if you do not wish to enter the Library.

• Borrowers will be required to sign a User Agreement Form before borrowing devices to make sure that all terms and conditions are understood (download example: WCL device user agreement).

• Devices are non-holdable (cannot be reserved) and non-renewable.

Did you reserve a pumpkin for Pumpkin Carving under the portico today? Your pumpkin awaits! But it’s so cold that we have an option for you: come pick your pumpkin, borrow our carving tools, and bring it back – and we’ll get it to City Hall on Monday so everyone can see it! Call 862-9914 and let us know if you’ll be picking up your pumpkin! We’ll be here until 3 p.m. today.
