Perhaps you’ve heard of The Library Lion? Well, Whitefish Library had Panthers on Tuesday!

StoryCircle Fort in Progress

Published on 01/13/22

Thanks to the fine weather for making snow blocks and industrious StoryCircle attendees, our StoryCircle Fort has a new layer, and some tunnels and even a back door! It’s a sweet place to sit on mats and listen to a story or two. Today we had stories about BOXES and all the fun things that can be imagined with them. Boxes even make fine snow block molds! people building library snow fort

StoryCircle is a Go – Thursday, Jan. 6, 2022

Published on 01/06/22

The temps were forecast to be above 10 degrees for today, so even though we might barely get there (now forecasting 10 degrees for 11 a.m.), we will be having StoryCircle in the library’s back yard today at 10:30 a.m. We have a story that incorporates plenty of action and lots of snow to play in, so we will stay warm. And any weather is good weather for play! girl boy snowman 8220find joy in snow8221 image caption: “If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you will have less joy in your life, but still the same amount of snow.” ~ anonymous

Too Cold for Outside StoryCircle

Published on 12/28/21

The forecast calls for temps ranging from 9 to 14 degrees on Thursday, Dec. 30th, so StoryCircle will be cancelled for only the second time since July 2020. We’ll resume StoryCircle in the New Year (Thursday, Jan. 6) with an action story which includes an obstacle course in the library’s back yard.

Meanwhile, come in and warm up at the library, where there are books and movies and music CDs especially for kids (have you ever checked those out?) And Snowfolk BINGO is in full swing with many more snowfolk eager to go to their new homes. Download a BINGO card Christmas tree made of books with little snowmen
