One Book Montana 2009

We've just launched a new resource for book lovers and Montana culture buffs: an interactive, literary “trail map” for D’Arcy McNickle’s 1936 novel The Surrounded. The Surrounded is this year’s One Book Montana selection, and we’ve “re-tooled” it for the digital age -- just in time for the Montana Festival of the Book and many One Book programs around the state. The project was made possible by the generous support of Humanities Montana, and the assistance of the D’Arcy McNickle Library at Salish Kootenai College.

Take a look: http://www.missoulapubliclibrary.org/thesurrounded And let us know what you think!

You can check out a copy of The Surrounded at the library. And don't forget this month's library events celebrating One Book Montana:

Saturday October 17th, 11 am: The Surrounded book discussion at the Seeley Lake Branch, Seeley-Swan High School
