In 2022, there were 23 reported cas...

The Library will be closed on Monday, May 29, in honor of Memorial Day. We will be open regular hours the rest of the week.

Current hours for the Library are as follows: Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 AM to 7 PM; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 AM to 7 PM; Fridays...

Quick and simple meals are the name of the game when warm weather beckons and spending time in the kitchen is less attractive. Salads are best during midsummer when they can be comprised of fresh and ripe ingredients plucked right from the garden. What's more, salad can be a side dish or even the main meal if fortified with a little protein and some bread. This recipe for Authentic Greek Salad from Clueless in the Kitchen: Cooking for Beginners (Firefly Books) by Evelyn Raab is ideal. The...

While the rest of the country and the world were embroiled in war, natural disasters, and front-page crime, life was still a little more docile here in our valley. People in Virginia were shaken by an earthquake; the Globe Savings Bank in Chicago had failed due to the mismanagement by its officers; in Fresno, California, a spurned man killed a woman and her daughter and then himself; war...

I just finished reading James Patterson's new Women's Murder Club novel, "The 23rd Midnight" and it started me thinking about why mysteries are so popular after decades of different authors and titles. The first reason patrons tell me they are such mystery fans is almost all mysteries are series with anywhere from 3 to 40 different books. The familiarity with the settings, characters, and type of mystery gives them comfort that the next book will be like meeting old friends for a new adventure....

Charlie had been begging for rides to get around, but this past weekend, Sunshine made her return to the road with a little help from friends!...
After a couple of months of above-normal precipitation across most of Montana, active weather largely slowed down in April. "In typical Montana fashion, last month's weather consisted of a combination of sunny days, winter weather, and rain," said Eric Larson, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Water Supply Specialist. The most notable storm occurred around April 18-22 and delivered 20 to 30 inches of dense snow to upper elevations in the northern Swan Mountains, central...
