Friends of the Flathead County Library

Several members of the Friends of the Library sort books in preparation for the annual book sale, September 20-22, 2013. Donations are welcome! Call Marylane at 257-5793 or Wendy at 257-8719.

A BIG thank you goes out to the many dedicated, book-loving volunteers of Friends of the Flathead County Library. They made the annual book sale a huge success. Thanks to the public for their support and donations of more than 10,000 books.

The group made $10,900 for our libraries. The money helps pay for:
- Homebound Program
- CHECK IT OUT, the online library newsletter
- Literacy Volunteers
- BOOK PAGE, monthly magazine
- Children’s summer reading program
- Downloadable ebooks and audiobooks
- Loud at the Library (in partnership with the Foundation)

Friends of the Flathead County Library Book Club meets from 5:00 to 6:00 pm the second Tuesday of the month, September through June, in the Main Library's basement meeting room. All are invited to join the discussion.
