Whitefish Community Library

Before there was Stumptown Ice Den, there was the Mountain Trails Saddle Club. The history of the club and its log cabin headquarters on Wisconsin Avenue are detailed in two large, lovingly-curated scrapbooks now on display in the Library. They’ll be here for a few months before being archived by Stumptown Historical Society. Come and see them for yourself!

Whitefish Community Library will be closed Thursday and Friday, November 27 and 28, so staff can enjoy the holidays with friends and family. The Library re-opens Saturday, November 29, at noon.

Whitefish Library Staff wish you and yours a peaceful holiday!

We remember our Veterans on November 11. The Library will be closed on this day.

We will reopen on Wednesday, November 12 at 10 a.m.

Coming to you on Saturday, November 8th is another fabulous writing workshop for teens with Jess E. Owen! If you’re between the ages of 13 and 18, join Jess on Saturday, November 8, from 11 to 1pm for Fearless Feedback. No registration is necessary, but you’ll want to bring a writing sample. For more information on what that means, read more….

Thank you to the unnamed donor who brought in this quilt to decorate the Library. It looks just right next to the circulation desk and is widely admired. Unfortunately, staff did not get the name of the donor, although there is a Linus Project patch affixed to the back. If you know who made this beautiful quilt, let us know. We’d love to send a “thank you.”
