The library will be closed August 12 for carpet cleaning.
The Book Challenge for August is to read a book with a question for the title. We have a selection for you to choose from.
The library will be open five more hours per week starting in September. We would like your input concerning our hours of operation. We also invite you to complete our community survey. Both surveys may be completed on our Facebook page or in person at the library.
The library is looking for Harlem High School memorabilia to have on display during the all class reunion Labor Day weekend. If you have photos, letter jackets or sweaters, trophies or awards, etc. please contact the library. The library will open special hours during the reunion for people to see the displays and to sit and visit.

His bestselling titles include “Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet,” “The Songs of Willow Frost,” and “Love and Other Consolation Prizes.” He will be the guest of the Harlem Library Monday, September 9. A “meet-and-greet” will take place from 6:00 – 7:00 including a taco bar provided by local book club members. Mr. Ford’s presentation will begin at 7:00. His books will be on sale that evening and Mr. Ford will be available to sign his books and for photos. He will be at the Blaine County Library, Chinook, September 10 and the Havre-Hill County Library September 11. This project is funded in part by a grant from Humanities Montana, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
