Whitefish Community Library

Pirates come in all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Today we had a shy pirate at Storytime, shown here modeling her new pirate hat.

Next week, Sept. 19-23:

On Monday, we’ll have our second Family Movie Night at 7 p.m. featuring Disney’s Anastasia. Put the kids in pajamas and come enjoy popcorn and a movie without distractions.

On Thursday: Storytime in honor of Grandparents Day (second Sunday of September). Stories & more for the preschool group, plus an art project perfect for the Grandparents’ refrigerator! That’s at 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 22. Come join us!

After a summer at the beach (and elsewhere), Kramer and Sarah are back! Please grab a book and join them in the Community Room every Wednesday after school at 3:30. Kramer, a French Bulldog, is a certified Therapy Dog and loves children. He is looking forward to renewing last year’s friendships and making new ones.

Monday, Sept 12 the Whitefish Library will offer a family movie night in the Heckathorn Community Room at 7pm. Put the kids in pajamas, grab a pillow, and enjoy “The Princess Bride”. Popcorn and water will be provided.

The following Monday, Sept 19, enjoy “Anastasia” – same time, same place.

The State Library has mapped all the libraries using the Montana Shared Catalog. We’ve added red stars to give you a bird’s eye view of which libraries and their branches are Whitefish Community Library’s partners in the MSC Partners Group. As you can see, being part of MSC Partners allows us to share across Montana.

Thanks to our sponsors and partners for a very enjoyable Summer Reading Challenge 2016. We had enlightening and fun visits from local businesses and non-profits, as well as donations to crafts and games events and prizes for those participating in the Reading Challenge. Please say “Thanks!” when you encounter any of our wonderful sponsors and partners around town.

A shell hunt for the youngest crowd, bubble wand craft, and a croquet-soccer challenge await attendees at the Library’s end of Summer Reading picnic. Also prizes, and pizza! Activities start at 10:30, pizza and watermelon at 11:15 on the Library’s east lawn. The festivities will wind down by noon. Weather forecast is for sun and in the 80s.

If you’ve never seen a raptor up close (birds that hunt and feed on other animals), Thursday, June 30th at 10:30 a.m. is your chance to do so. Montana Wild Wings Recovery – a wildlife rehab non-profit – will visit the Library. If the weather permits, we’ll be set up on the lawn east of the Library building between the Library and Central School Playground.
