Case closed!

Missoulians have cracked case #1 of Find the Falcon!

The Maltese Falcon's secret hideout this week was the M7 "Priest" Self-Propelled Howitzer located on the front lawn of the Rocky Mountain Museum of Military History at the Fort Missoula Historic District.

Congratulations to this week's hard-boiled Missoulian, Eric H.  Visit the library Accounts Desk to claim your prizes!

Didn't win this week? Don't despair. There will be 5 more opportunities to guess -- and an added incentive to participate each week: everyone who submits an answer each week (6 total submissions) will be entered into a drawing to win a final grand prize to be announced at our Big Read finale on November 13th.


Check back this Monday, October 8th for Case #2 of Find the Falcon.

So, what is the Stuff that Dreams are Made Of?


Mink stoles & trench coats
and typewritten notes.
That's what dreams are made of.




Visit the Missoula Public Library lower lobby for The Stuff That Dreams are Made Of: Echoes of the Maltese Falcon, curated by The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula. The display runs through November 15th.
