Make a Splash at your Library Summer Reading Program Picnic

Our program was all about having fun reading at your library this summer. We had 77 participants and they read over 800 books. Kate and I were thrilled to have so many wonderful children in the library. We wrapped it up with a picnic party on Friday and

as you can see, water ballons were flying.

Face Painting

We had so much fun painting faces again this year.

Here are a few samples of our hanydwork. The library

would like to thank Susan Lavold and Anita Gutowski

(who was visiting our town from Roseville, MI) for doing

such a great job painting faces!

3rd Annual Soup and Bread Lunch at the Library

A big Thank you to everyone who helped cook, serve, eat, entertain, clean, etc. All proceeds will go toward children's books. Stop by and see our growing collection!

FOL BOOK CLUB PICKS FIRST SELECTION

The Newly formed Friends of the Big Timber Carnegie Library Book Club met for the first time on Tuesday evening, January 12, and chose "Where the River Runs North" as their initial reading assignment. The Friends of the Library group will next meet on Tuesday Feb. 9th downstairs at the library to talk about the book. Everyone is welcome to attend the club's session, which will start at 6:30 p.m. Former librarian Lauren McMullen is scheduled to lead the discussion that night. "Where the River Runs North" was written by Sam Morton. The book is fiction but based on fact; the historical tale focuses on the history of the Absaraka region in southern Montana and northernWyoming. The narrative takes the reader from pioneer life though modern development of this area to the south and east of our own community.
Questions about the club or the focus books can be addressed to librarians Kate Lewis, Jacque Scott or FOL President Kathy Jones. The library's telephone number is 932-5608.
