Residents contribute over $11,000 for this 'home' for books, response to new library is "overwhelming"
Local residents are not shy about using the new public library in Seeley Lake, according to Loretta Cooper, librarian. The public support for the new facility has been overwhelming.
"That's what kept me going," Cooper said enthusiastically. "People are coming in, they are using the library, and they are glad to have it."
Cooper has been recording the number of public library patrons during the library's first official month of operation. Recently, she counted 87 patrons who used the library during a recent weekday. "That's unbelievable," she said.
Cooper has been responsible for the implementation of an almost impossible job–the physical conversion of the high school library facility to a branch public library. The public collection (over 2,000 books) has been physically separated from the 8,000 books also available for check out in the high school library section.

An Eagle has landed!
Local Boy Scout, Michael Biggins last month sat before the Mullen Trail Districts Eagle Board for his Eagle Board of review. They recommended him for advancement to the rank of Eagle Scout.
In a search of Eagle Scout records by the Montana Council of the Boy Scouts of America, Michael appears to be the first Eagle Scout to come from Seeley Lake.
The rank of Eagle Scout is the highest rank that can be earned in the Boy Scouts of America. It requires considerable perseverance to get there. Once achieved, the Scout is recognized by his peers, his community, and his nation, as achieving something very significant–something few attain in their lives.
