Charlie Russell prints available at library
News from the North Lake County Public Library
POLSON — Charlie M. Russell’s “The Night Before Christmas” Prints are now available for sale in the North Lake County Public 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.
