Sundaes on Sunday!

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month (informally known as NLCSUM), and here at Missoula Public Library we have a few traditions associated with this month-long celebration of all things library. Certainly the most delicious among them is Sundaes on Sunday, an afternoon of ice cream and music. This year Ben, our blogmeister and local music guru, has arranged for Tater Pig to come and shake the walls with their sound. The fun starts at 2:00pm tomorrow with free tunes for all, and a suggested donation of $1 to enjoy one of our delicious Sundaes on Sunday!

National Library Card Sign-Up Month

I hope all of you had a great Labor Day and are rested up for September. School's starting up, baseball is starting to wind down and you have to wear a jacket after dinner. I don't know about you, but it feels like fall to me already. In case you're interested, the fall solstice takes place on September 22nd at 3:44 in the afternoon.

Speaking of baseball winding down, our very own reference librarian Molly was able to throw out the first pitch at one of the last regular season Osprey games.

September for the library means National Library Card Sign Up Month. Here in Missoula, we'll be giving out gift bags to the first 100 new patrons who sign up for cards, having a adult gaming night, giving out sundaes in our annual Sundaes on Sunday event (music act still TBA), having an open house for teachers and school librarians (call us for details), and much, much more.

So we're here for you if you need to do research for school, or just need to getaway and forget about school. See you in the library this September.

Sundaes on Sunday 2007

Sundaes on Sunday turned out to be a hit again this year, despite the gloomy weather that accompanied it. We had almost 40 onlookers in all stop by and listen to the always fantastic Danny's Dilemma. They were short a few members, but still put on a great show and rocked the library.


Mitch, a fellow contributer to the blog, served up ice cream sundaes to patrons. We sold quite a few, and a new record was set! Not in total ice cream served, but the younger brother of the drum player ate 3 massive sundaes, which will go down in the history books.


Thanks to everyone who showed up this year, and be sure to come back next year for more music and Sundaes at the library!
