All About Disc Golf

Published on 06/29/21

What inexpensive sport gets you outdoors, is easy to learn, and can be played by all ages? Hint: one of these is involved… hand with flying disc

Of course, it’s Disc Golf, featured at our next Summer Reading event!

Did you know that Flathead Valley boasts 4 Disc Golf courses and a nonprofit organization dedicated to growing the sport? Disc Golf is a great family sport for all the reasons listed above, and the whole family can try it when Flathead Valley Disc Golf comes to the library for a clinic on Thursday, July 1st. We’ll start at 10:30 to beat the heat. People playing disc golf 8211 FVDG logo

Water Bugs to Birds

Published on 06/22/21

We were fascinated when Whitefish Lake Institute’s Cynthia Inglefinger brought us macroinvertebrates to examine. She explained how and why the WLI catches and releases these little creatures. Then we explored the fresh streamwater Cynthia brought. We looked and collected and matched bugs up with their pictures and almost forgot to go home! Cynthia tells how they caught water bugs

This week, one of our favorites visits the Library on Thursday, June 24 at 10:30 a.m. – Wild Wings Raptor Recovery! Come sit on the lawn on the east side of the Library while the experienced crew weaves between you with their “education birds” – raptors that can no longer live in the wild. There will be plenty of opportunities to observe and photograph these magnificent birds.

Got Bugs?
