Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Greetings from the Library in Helena!

We hope this letter finds you well. The library is open and ready to serve you with loads of new books and movies, and neat plans for the spring and summer.

May is a big month for the library, as school is winding down and the summer is approaching. As many of you know, the library has a FUN summer reading program each year.

This year, the Summer Reading theme is “Oceans of Possibilities”. Big plans are being made to provide a fun and exciting program with prizes, giveaways, programs, and entertaining performers! The program is simple, user friendly, and FREE!

Having a library card when you visit this summer can save you time and money, so be sure to stop by soon to get a new card or update your current one.
