Whitefish Community Library

Summer Reading kicked off Monday, June 8th and people of all ages have been signing up, hoping to win a prize, contribute to this year’s nonprofit, or just to read a really good book! Signups continue all summer until mid-August – it’s never too late.

We already have stickers on our banner, each representing a dollar that will be donated to local nonprofit The Making Place by our partner, the Whitefish Credit Union.

We’re looking forward to Thursdays at 10:30 when our family-friendly summer reading activities take place. This Thursday, June 18, we’ll see the Whitefish Lake Institute and search for macroinvertebrates. Find out more HERE.

Here’s our “before” picture. We’re looking forward to seeing our Making Place banner plastered with stickers by Saturday, August 15.

We have a new indoor air monitor at the Library and it’s due to a partnership with Climate Smart Glacier and the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services.

To celebrate becoming a Clean Indoor Air Center for the community, on Monday, June 8 at 5:30 p.m. Climate Smart Glacier will demonstrate how to build your very own box fan indoor air filter. This easy way to clean your indoor air requires only a box fan, an air filter, and duct tape. Learn how to do this easy build, and check out the monitor and pick up some free information about air quality and how to keep safe during a wildfire smoke or other air quality event @ Your Library!

Our summer hours, June – September are as follows:

Monday – 10 AM to 7 PM (Late Night @ the Library)

*Tuesday – 9 AM to 5 PM

Wednesday – 10 AM to 6 PM

Thursday – 10 AM to 6 PM

Friday – 11 AM to 5 PM

Saturday – 12 PM to 5 PM

Sunday – Closed

You’ll note that Tuesday is the only change from Winter Hours. This gives the Farmers Market space to flourish without conflict from parking, etc. Enjoy the Library, enjoy the Farmers Market, and enjoy Summer!

Whitefish Community Library will be closed Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day. We will reopen Tuesday, May 26, at 10 a.m.

Do you enjoy crafting with others?

Need motivation / inspiration to start or finish a project?

Join us for Whitefish Community Craft Night, 5:30-8:30 every other Monday, hosted by The Making Place in the Library’s Community Room.

Bring a project to work on and enjoy an easygoing environment. Tables and limited outlets are provided.

Community Craft Night is a work in progress; suggestions are welcome.

Whimsical dwellings, portraits, elephant studies, trees inspired by Robin Hood’s forest – these are among the works of art by Whitefish students that are on display at the Library through the end of May. We won’t say anymore – we’ll let pictures tell the story.

Come in and pick up some books during the week because Whitefish Community Library will be closed due to Staff Training on Saturday, April 18th. We apologize for any inconvenience. The Library reopens at its usual time on Monday, April 20th.
