Whitefish Community Library

Overdrive App is Sunsetting Soon: As a reminder Overdrive will stop supporting the Overdrive app in February and it will be removed from app stores. To continue accessing eBooks and Audiobooks your digital readers will need to download the Libby app on their digital device

Thanks to ARPA funding the Montana State Library is excited to offer Great Courses, Test Prep services and Universal Class. They can be found by scrolling down toward the bottom of the screen. These extras are all available for the next 12 months with the Libby app.

Perhaps you’ve heard of The Library Lion? Well, Whitefish Library had Panthers on Tuesday! The Fortine Panthers Pre-K and Kindergarten class visited and they all read enough books to take home Whitefish Library Snowfolk. What a great class! Thanks for bringing them, Miss Michelle!

The Story Panels are proud to show off their new vinyl jackets today when we read a penguin story “Grumpy Pants” by Claire Messer. Come and learn how penguin shakes off his grumpy mood at preschool StoryCircle today, 10:30 a.m. in the library’s Big Back Yard.

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!

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! 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

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
