“A whopping amount!” was what Youth Services Librarian Gina Schiff called it. Readers did it again and out-read the $1500 pledge from Whitefish Credit Union by placing 1,954 stickers on the Special Olympics flag posted next to the Circulation desk.
“Each year, the Whitefish Credit Union pledges an amount. Each year, our readers read beyond that amount, and each year, the Credit Union honors that. We are so happy for our readers and for the Glacier Area Special Olympics,” stated Schiff.
A check for $1,954 from the Whitefish Credit Union is now on its way to Glacier Area Special Olympics.
Readers of all ages read for a total of 10.85 months, day and night, among them members of the Marley family, pictured below in front of the 1,954 stickers.
Your Library has the complete City Council Packet for you to peruse before a City Council Meeting. The one pictured here is actually on the small side. Often these documents are more than an inch high. It’s a testament to how much a councilperson has to digest before each of those meetings, and how much City staff must work to produce them.
So if you want to be in the know and prefer not to read on a screen, just ask one of your friendly librarians for the latest City Council packet.
Whitefish Community Library will be closed on Monday, September 2nd in observance of Labor Day. The Library reopens on Tuesday, September 3 at 10 a.m.
Have a safe and peaceful Labor Day weekend!
