What's happening in June
at the Library?

Why Should Kids Have All the Fun?

The Great Falls Public Library is proud to announce Book Buzz, the library's first Adult Summer Reading Program, running
June 9 - August 15. Anyone older than 18 with a library card can participate and library cards are FREE to anyone who lives in Cascade County.

Participation is simple. For every book read during Book Buzz, participants will be able to submit an entry. Entry forms will be available at the library. A weekly winner will be drawn each Friday. We will hold five of these drawings live on the radio and announce winners on Q106, SAM@ 107.3, and KIK-FM, 104.9, as well as in the Play section of the Sunday Tribune. The winners will also be posted at the library. On August 15, two grand prize winners will be drawn from all of the entries submitted throughout the summer.

Prizes will include hardback books, t-shirts, book bags, and stainless steel coffee mugs. The two grand prizes will be free library parking for one year and an iPod donated by the
Friends of the Great Falls Public Library.

Book Buzz is a celebration of the joy of reading. Come join the fun!

On Display

Elephants 'n' Donkeys, an exhibit by the Thursday Morning Artists (formerly the Thursday Morning Drawing Club) through the month of June. The group, which features ten core members, returns to the library each spring with an eclectic mix of art.
Also continuing through June is The Hope & Opportunity Photography Exhibit, featuring photography from the Homestead era of Montana. This exhibit is built from the broad collection of imagery and memorabilia held at the Overholser Historical Research Center and the River and Plains Society Museums, both of Fort Benton. This community collection of photography belongs to the people of Fort Benton.
