8 YEARS AGO - SEPTEMBER: Back in 1897, natural disasters, politics, crime, and illness were on the front page of the paper and there was plenty of satire on the inside. At least 400 people lost their lives on the Lucon island of the Philippines from a major volcanic eruption. Typhoid fever was a serious threat in Belt, Montana with 44 cases reported. In Alaska, typhoid and scurvy were attacking the miners – it was reported that many men had teeth dropping out of their mouths from the s...
SEPTEMBER 9, 1998 Smoldering cottonwood tree limbs erupted into a full blaze at the Whitehall dump on Tuesday, September 1 and county officials were considering a range of options to prevent a repeat incident.

Augie Brower and Jackson Truckle were selected to perform at the 1998 Montana...
I really love the fact that the children and young adults who come into the Library get along, no matter if they are homeschooled, private schooled, or public school. It is fun to watch them interact and share information about what they are doing, studying, and participating in outside of the school day. All Library programs are open to anyone who wants to participate, and this gives families from every type of education a chance to mingle and make new friends. That being said, the two homeschool roundup groups met last week and are planning...

Whitehall Garden Club "Hops" into Fall! The WGC meeting on September 6 started with a wonderful social time, full of delicious dishes created by Diane Ward and Barbara Lien. Members could cozy up to the buffet and enjoy two scrumptious egg dishes, fresh fruit, churro bites, and of course, the usual morning drinks. I say 'usual' because the guest speaker Cathy Hatch had something else up her "sleeve" a bit later. Thank you Barbara and Diane for helping us wake up with a taste of sunshine. The...

Librarians love to snitch ideas from other libraries and share their ideas with others. I recently ended up on the St. Louis Public Library’s newsletter list;: I’m still not sure how. It gives all of the different programs they do during the week, future events, and relevant news. This fall we will be doing between 10 to 14 programs a week and having ideas from other libraries will help us vary and increase our programs so they never get stale. Coming up with different story time ideas, after school events, and adult programs always works the s...
