Did you know…?

Published on 09/03/24

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. picture of city council documents

How many stickers? (One last chance for prizes!)

Published on 08/20/24

Readers have one more chance to win prizes by guessing how many stickers are on the Special Olympics Flag. Readers placed a sticker on the flag for each ticket they earned in the Summer Reading Challenge. Whitefish Credit Union has pledged $1 for each sticker to Glacier Area Special Olympics.

Here is a clue: last year, Readers earned $1503 for Good Grief Camp. How many this year? We are still counting! We suspect that Readers have broken the record for stickers this year. Come by the Library and make your guess. Thursday, August 29th will be the last day to enter your guess. The three closest to the final amount will win a prize.
