Good morning Missoula!!

It's a lovely day here at the Farmers' Market under the Higgins Street bridge. Join us at the bookmobile as you get your week's supply of fresh veggies, flowers and other goodies. We've got books on taking care of your produce from garden to kitchen, and lots of others. I've even grabbed some new arrivals that have never even been to the shelves to make their debut here at the market.
We also have some information on today's Envision meeting that will take place this afternoon at 1:00 in the library's large meeting room. Share with us your vision of the future of the library as we plan our next decade and beyond.
Think... more!

Marvelous day for the market

What a day we had at the market! Thanks to the hundreds of people who stopped at our table and chatted with us and checked out books (and I'm not exaggerating). We gave out 24 new library cards this morning and checked out lots of books. And we loved hearing the cool comments from people who were so happy to see us there!

We can hardly wait for our next market trip - the last Saturday of every month all summer. Feeling like you missed out? Be sure to stop in and browse at our next market visit, June 27. Or, if you can't wait that long, we're open every day of the week at the main library.

On the road

In case you missed our earlier blog - we've spruced up our bookmobile and we're getting ready to hit the road this weekend!

Come visit us at the River Market (by the bridge) Saturday May 30, where you can browse books and other materials for all ages on gardening, cooking, and all sorts of market-type topics. We'll even throw in a few fiction books for good measure. If you don't have a library card, you can get one right there - so go home with a book straight from the market. Plus we'll have info on all the cool stuff we're offering this season to get you out of the summer heat. So stop by and visit us at the market - or you could go the traditional route and swing by the library building on E Main. Heck, we'll let you do both!

Our Bookmobile Gets a Facelift

Check out the new look of our bookmobile! We're dusting it off and getting it ready to leave the garage for the first time in a few years. We added our new logo and, as Bob Ross would say, some "happy clouds" to the side.

You'll be able to see the Bookmobile out in the wild starting May 30th. We're going to send it down to the Farmer's Market (Clark Fork River Market) and have gardening, cooking and other DIY books to check out. You heard right, you'll be able to check out books at the Farmer's Market soon. Pretty cool.
