Kid's Area News


The Kid’s area has just received a cool new sculpture by Aaron Thorpe. A generous Missoula patron saw this beautiful sculpture at an auction and immediately thought of Missoula Public Library and our Gnome House. I think it’s just the addition we need.

Speaking of the Gnome House, it is being rewired. Marilyn, Mona Frangos’ daughter, with help from a friend, is busy replicating the original wiring that Mona put in when she built the house. So for now the lights are off at the Gnome House, but the Gnomes have let us know that they understand and it is OK for now.

Our last Summer Activity Program was for the birds, Herons that is. Donna Love came to Missoula Public Library to read from her newest book Henry the Impatient Heron and talk about herons, loons and other birds of western Montana. We also created our own Hilarious Herons.




Our Family Reading Program is in its last week. We will be distributing prizes to all of our fantastic readers through August 31st. We all had a lot of fun this summer with our activity programs and Thursday movies. Let us know what you especially liked or maybe didn't like so much. We would love to hear from you and we can always use ideas for our summer activity programs.
