Between the Stacks

Joyeux printemps! Happy springtime! The History Book Club will be finishing up “Mrs. Sherlock Holmes” at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, March 28, and head to France for April. Edward Rutherfurd’s novel “Paris” is the choice for next month. This historical novel about the city begins in 1261 and ends in 1968. Rutherfurd follows different French families from all walks of life throughout the great historical events occurring in the city. This is part of a series of books covering the great cities of Europe by Rutherfurd. If you would like to join us for the discussion next month, just stop by the Library and pick up a copy of the books. It is also available online at Montana2Go.

The Friends of the Library will be meeting at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday April 6th. They will be discussing plans for the opening of the “Erin in Exile”, summer reading, the November programming, and more. If you would like to become a Friend, please come join us and see what the Friends are all about.

Butch Paquin and the watercolor enthusiasts will be painting until the end of May. They are doing a variety of different projects and learning different techniques. Please feel free to drop in anytime and join in or just admire all of the works of our amateur painters. The Library supplies all of the things needed for new artists and the class is free to the public.

Computer classes will be ending in April. If you would like to take the beginners class in September let the staff know. The classes are filling up much faster than anticipated so make sure to get your name on the list before they are closed. There will be both advanced and beginning in the fall and maybe a few special classes this summer. Watch for details here.

Lastly, I would invite anyone who takes a book off the shelf but then decides it is not the book they want to check out, to just drop it in the book return. It is not a problem for the staff to re-shelve books and a book that is put in the wrong place is lost until the staff discovers it. Thank you so much for helping us keep the library in order.
