Storytime @ the Library!
Every Friday from 10:30 to 11:00 we have storytime for pre-school children at the Whitehall Library. This last Friday we read about Thanksgiving and made turkey hats.
The books we read were "The Perfect Thanksgiving" by Eileen Spinelli, "The First Thanksgiving Day" by Laura Melmed and "I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie" by Allison Jackson.
Would you like to listen to some children's stories on-line? Here's a link to Kid's Corner where you can read or listen to some great children's books. Another great site is Children's Books on-line. The have fairy tales, fables, Bible stories, and dramatized American history.

3! Yes, that's right, 3 libraries in Jefferson County!

We have three fabulous libraries in Jefferson County, one in Clancy, Boulder and Whitehall. Triple your pleasure, triple your fun! You can use your Jefferson County Library System library card to check out books at any of these libraries, place holds on books, request books from libraries outside of our system and use the on-line magazine database, auto repair database and several other really cool resources. To get to these databases click on this: Montana Library Network and choose one of the links in the reference area and prepared to be dazzled!
