Library Notes

We have received 3 WiFi “Hotspots” to check out to those whose internet is slow or nonexistent. They are part of a project funded in part with Library Services and Technology Act funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the Montana State Library. We are currently sending them home with a few of our rural patrons so we can find out how well they work, if at all. Cross your fingers! I know I am!

This month I have ordered books for our young readers since it is Reading month at the elementary school. This year’s theme is “Wild About Reading”. We have “ABC’s at the Beach”, “ABC’s in the Forest”, “ABC’s on Skis”, “Dandy and Dazza”, “Old MacDonald had a Phone”, “Raccoon and the Hot Air Balloon”, and “Sunday Rain”. “Construction Site: Road Crew, Coming Through!”, “Off to See the Sea”, “Bedtime for Sweet Creatures”, and “Mel Fell”. For fun we have “Crayola Colorful STEAM Activities”, “Crayola Super Simple STEAM Activities”.
