Greetings from Helena, the lovely capitol of our lovely state. I am here with several other library supporters to meet and greet with our legislators and to encourage them to support funding for your libraries.
Did you know that in 2009, 4,429,464 people visited public libraries in Montana and 6,244,116 items were checked out? These numbers increased during the 2010 and continue to grow.
Did you know that if you checked out 1 book a month, borrowed 1 magazine, checked out 1 video and 1 audio book in the month, attended 1 adult program and 1 childrens' program, used the public computers 1 hour a day during that month and had 1 reference question answered you received $464 in services. That's a return of $215.81 on your investment of every $1 spent in taxes (see Montana State Library Investment Calculator). What a deal!
Missoula Public Library, think... more!

Support From Our Government
Recently, our Montana legislators sat down to make READ posters to show their support of Montana Libraries. In turn, we'll be posting the posters from our Missoula legislators along with statewide legislators. I can't think of a better way to start than with our State Librarian Darlene Staffeldt.
Stay tuned for more!
