POLSON — The internationally acclaimed film, “Occupy Love: Evolution of the Heart” will be shown at Journey Be Church, located at 101 Seventh Ave., W., on Sunday, June 30, at 9 a.m. The 80-minute film will be followed by a short discussion while coffee and cookies are served. Occupy Love explores the growing realization that our current power systems are failing to provide health, happiness or meaning for billions on the planet. The old paradigm that concentrates wealth, founded on the greed of a few, is increasingly causing economic and global collapse. The question is—how do we create a world that works for all of us as well as future generations. Please come and join the discussion.

POLSON — North Lake County Public Library is offering its annual Adopt-a-Book program, an opportunity to “adopt” a children’s book and present it to the library’s collection. Adopt-a-Book takes place during the month of February, which is designated “I Love to Read Month.”

Community members can purchase a book to honor a special child, friend, relative, or event (Valentine’s Day, birthday, anniversary, etc.), or to remember a loved one. Each hardback book is $13.

The wide variety of colorful new books waiting for adoption is now on display at the library. After a book is purchased, a bookplate will be inscribed and permanently placed in the front of the book. In addition, a special acknowledgement of the sponsored book can be sent to the honoree.

For more information, call the library at (406) 883-8225 or stop by the circulation desk at 2 First Avenue East, Polson.
