The Governor has issued a stay-at-home (or shelter-in-place) directive for residents of the State of Montana starting 12:01 a.m. on March 28, 2020, through 11:59 p.m. on Friday, April 23, 2020. Because we are not considered an essential service the Whitefish Community Library will need to cancel our curbside service as of Friday, March 28, at 5pm. Patrons will need to pick up their items before 5pm. No staff will be on duty. Items on hold not picked up will be held until May 1. We apologize that we aren’t able to continue with this service. Please do not return library books until May 1, 2020 which is the date ALL checked out materials are due.

1) We will push current due dates and available hold expiration dates out to a future date. 2) We will be suspending all Overdue Notice, Assumed Lost, and PLO processes until we reopening. 3) We are not charging overdue fines during closure.

Please, everyone, stay home. Stay safe. Be well.

ITA has cancelled all team visits at this time. We will keep you posted and hopefully we can resume again soon.

As in every December, the snow and the snowpeople have descended on Whitefish Community Library! Big ones, little ones, funny ones, and more. And two giant teddy bears are ready to cuddle young readers. Come on in and warm up by the fireplace!

It was Pumpkin Storytime today! We’re building up to Halloween with the “Disguises” Storytime next week (Oct 20), and finally, “Halloween” itself at the Oct. 27 Storytime. Ooooo, we can’t wait! Meanwhile, we still have craft supplies left if you want to make your very own Pumpkin Person.

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.
