North Valley Storyline

by Desiree

There was a great article in today’s Ravalli Republic about our new program, the North Valley Storyline. You can read the article here.

We’re very excited about this new early literacy outreach program. For now, Kim is using her personal car to visit daycare centers in Stevensville and Florence, but the library’s ultimate goal is to purchase a vehicle to use in the project.

The Storyline has been funded entirely with donations and grant funds so far. The NVPL Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, is accepting donations to keep the Storyline running long into the future.

If you’d like more information, contact Kim, Caitlin or Desiree at 777-5061.

by caitlinkempainen

We’re celebrating all things Irish this month, at the library!  Stop in at 12:00 today to view a free film steeped in Irish folklore.  A 10 year old girl is sent to live with her grandparents in a small fishing village in Donegal, Ireland and learns the legends of her ancestors.  This is a great film for the entire family.  Contact the library for title information at 777-5061.
