Spring has sprung and we are gearing up for a busy March at the North Lake County Public Library. The book drop is always available as is our online catalog and Montana Library2Go with eBooks, audiobooks and magazines.
The big news is the much anticipated Friends of the Library Book Sale happening on March 25 and 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the library meeting room. This is the first book sale since 2019 and there are thousands of great books and other media just waiting for you to buy. Come and support the library and take home some treasures.
Sierra’s tech class for March is “Learn How to Upgrade Your Cybersecurity.” With data breaches, a million passwords, malware and all kinds of other techy things going on in the world, it is more important than ever to be sure you are protected. This program will take place on Tuesday, March 15, at 2 p.m. in the library meeting room.
We have a special family program scheduled on Saturday, March 19, at 10 a.m. in the library meeting room. Felicia is hosting our first Interactive Movie Experience with Disney-Pixar’s “Brave.” Follow along and play a game. Pretend to shoot a bow with Merida, sniff for a bear with Fergus and follow the wisps. We will have some St. Patty’s Day fun too.
Don’t forget, Mother Goose Mondays at 9:15 a.m. for the 0-3 crowd and Story Time Thursdays at 9:15 a.m. for the 3-5 group. Participation by parents and caregivers and older siblings is always encouraged and welcome. This month the themes include: colors, bath time, St. Patty’s Day, spring and babies. Deanna Mydland from Montana PBS will join us on March 10 with something special.
We have extended the checkout on hotspots to 14 days, but there are some stricter penalties in place if they are not returned. This has been an immensely popular service and we hope to be able to make it fair and accessible for everyone.
We have the IRS Instruction Booklets and 1040 forms for the April 18 tax deadline. You can also print your own from: www.IRS.gov/forms-instructions. The State of Montana does not print or send us any forms or booklets. Those can be found at: www.mtrevenue.gov. Both entities encourage e-filing and direct deposit as the fastest way to file and get a refund.
The library’s regular hours are Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays reserved as high risk hours (please wear a mask during this time). Curbside pickup is available for everyone during open hours. Please call us at 406-883-8225 or email us at: polsoncl@polson.lib.mt.us with questions or to request curbside pickup.
