The North Lake County Public Library is celebrating “Library Lover’s Month” all February long with 25% off in our gift nook and our annual Adopt-a-Book program. For a $15 donation you get to choose from a selection of children’s books and write a personalized note that will be placed in the front of the book. We have a lot of great books to choose from this year.
Sierra has a great Technology Program planned for Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. This month we are focusing on growing your pandemic literacy with a game called “Factitious.” Are you overwhelmed with news about COVID-19 that seems to be constantly changing and contradicting? This program will help you find peace of mind by sharpening your critical thinking skills. This is a great program for learning how to evaluate and identify good and credible sources of all information.
On Saturday, Feb. 26, at 10 a.m. Felicia is leading a Leap into Science – Light & Shadows workshop. Join us in the large meeting room for story time, a shadow puppet show, and hands-on learning stations. This is a great family program for kids of all ages with parents or caregivers.
Don’t forget Mother Goose Mondays at 9:15 a.m. for the 0-3 crowd and Story Time Thursdays at 9:15 a.m. for the 3-5 group. Participation by parents and caregivers, and older siblings is always encouraged and welcome. This month the themes include the Olympics, Valentine’s Day, colors and letters. Gwen Hadrits, from the Lake County Health Department, will join us on Feb. 14 and 24 with a little extra fun.
Thanks to the Montana State Library, we have added some really great resources to the Libby app. We have Method Test Prep for SAT & ACT study help and practice exams, and the Great Courses and Universal Class for adult continuing education videos and courses. These are all great resources to encourage lifelong learning.
We have the IRS instruction booklets and hope to get the 1040 forms soon. You can also print your own from: www.IRS.gov/forms-instructions. The State of Montana does not print or send us any forms or booklets. Those can be found at: www.mtrevenue.gov. Both entities encourage e-filing and direct deposit as the fastest way to file and get a refund.
The library will be closed on Monday, Feb. 21, in recognition of Presidents’ Day. We will close at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, March 8, for an all-staff training. The library’s regular hours are Monday - Friday, from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m.-10 a.m. are times reserved as a high risk hour (please wear a mask during this time). On Saturdays we are open from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Curbside pickup is also available for everyone during open hours. Please call us at 406-883-8225 or email us at: polsoncl@polson.lib.mt.us with questions or to request curbside pickup.
