The Bookworm Alliance

I just read a great article on reading at NewWest.net, a great local blog, entitled Bookworms Unite! It was a good read and struck pretty close to home for me and most of my co-workers, although I'm not sure if any of us keep a spreadsheet of what we've read, although that would make a good new year's resolution. I didn't read close to a book a week, maybe 2 a month, but I bet I started one a week, does that count?

I would make the addition that as well as supporting local bookstores, come on down to the library when you're short a few bucks and pick up the same books for free!

New West + Missoula Public Library = Love

Missoula Public Library has happily joined forces with New West to bring our events into (hopefully) the public eye.

For the unaware, New West is an online magazine/blog/events calender for many large cities in the west. Along with Missoula, they serve the Flathead Valley, Bend, Boulder, Salt Lake City and more. We're happy to be a part of it.

Our list of events can be seen here, check back often, as we're just getting started and thus far only have two events listed (more coming very, very soon). But now, in addition to our web site and paper newsletter you can find our events listed at http://www.missoulaevents.net/MPL

And while you're there, check out their Missoula page right here.
