Staff is still working, although our doors are locked. Staff has been deep cleaning and organizing the shelves, and painting the meeting room. Kelsey started a project last Tuesday that we’ve been trying to get accomplished for several years and she made great progress! In 2016 we had our yearbooks digitized by OCI and we received copies of the project on DVDs. The images and accompanying Meta data are now being uploaded to the Montana Memory Project. Years 1917 through 1954 of the Chinook Breeze went live April 9th and you can view them on the Montana Memory Project website. More are being added daily.

We are trying to continue to serve the community by providing items for patrons. Patrons can call, email or send a message on Facebook about the items you are looking for and we will do our best to fill a request. You can search our online catalog to see what is available. We are now bagging items and setting them outside for pickup, in an effort to limit contact. We are following ALA guidelines for handling materials when they are retuned. In addition to sanitizing items, we are quarantining materials for 9 days in an abundance of precaution. Wi-Fi is available 24/7 outside the building.

Please visit our website for links to free audio and eBooks. This is a constantly changing situation that is being reevaluated daily. We will do our best to keep everyone informed and to continue to provide services to patrons. Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.

New movies ready to go this week are Little Women, Dolittle and Cats. New fiction this week includes: “The Good Detective” and “The Evil Men Do” by John McMahon, “The Glass Hotel” by Emily St. John Mandel, “Secrets of My Heart” by Tracie Peterson, “Who Rescued Who” by Victoria Schade, “The Mirror and the Light” by Hilary Mantel, “Untamed” by Glennon Doyle, and “The Red Lotus” by Chris Bohjalian. Call us to check out any of these new titles.
