On Thursday, Dec. 12, the Montana Library Network is hosting another virtual program.

You must register to get the link. Register at: https//tinyurl.com/RuralMontanaThrives. This program is free and open to all.
On Thursday, Dec. 19 The Friends of the Library are having a Book Donation Day. Our Friends of the Library have taken over management of our donation program and have set the third Thursday of each month as “Donation Day.” You may bring to the library up to two boxes of books or movies between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on that day. Please remember that we cannot accept books in poor condition. We also cannot accept encyclopedias, textbooks, dictionaries, atlases, Readers Digest compilation books, VHS, cassette tapes and outdated non-fiction titles (no older than 3 years for medical, legal, political and technology). You are always welcome to donate paperbacks, magazines, puzzles, and titles that were published in the past year directly to the library for our collection.
Charlie M. Russell’s “The Night Before Christmas” Prints are now available for sale in the library! Unframed prints are $15 each and are approximately 23”x 34”. This is a unique shopping and fundraising opportunity. A portion of the proceeds will go to the North Lake County Public Library, a portion to the Trust for Montana Libraries and a portion to the Great Falls Public Library Foundation, who shared the prints with us. Friends of the Library have donated a print, beautifully framed by Wild Horse Framing for display in the Library. Josephine Trigg was the Children’s Librarian in Great Falls and was a close friend of Charlie and Nancy Russell. Trigg suggested Charlie paint a scene for the Children’s area. The result was this unique work.
