With colder temperatures upon us, perhaps it’s time to swing by your local library and find a cozy book to enlighten the mind or warm the heart. Your local Seeley Lake Public Library has many new popular titles in both nonfiction and fiction for adults.
Your local library also regularly swaps out DVDs, books on CD, large print, adult fiction and nonfiction titles, holiday reads, and children’s books. We typically have a puzzle going in-house — which is another great winter activity — as well as free puzzles to take home, including plenty that are holiday or winter-themed.
The Book Club will meet on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 11 a.m. at the library. This month’s read is “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” by Garth Stein. Book synopsis: On the eve of his death, Enzo, a philosopher dog with a nearly human soul, takes stock of his life with the Swift family — Denny, an up-and-coming race car driver, his wife Eve, and their daughter Zoe. Wally Lamb said this of the story, “I savored Garth Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain for many reasons: a dog who speaks, the thrill of competitive racing, a heart-tugging story line, and — best of all — the fact that it is a meditation on humility and hope in the face of despair.” All are invited to come and participate in the conversation. Refreshments are provided.
December is the final month of the 2024 Missoula Reads Challenge. If you’ve finished your reading log, bring it into the library. Prizes will be on the way for everyone who has completed the challenge. New reading logs for 2025 will be available at the beginning of the year.
