Harlem Library

Stop by the library to see the “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” display of angels from community members. You may still bring angels to add to the display.

The library has a large selection of holiday books to read during this season on our Christmas Book Tree. Three new titles include “The Santa Suit” by Mary Kay Andrews, “The Wish” by Nicholas Sparks, and “Dear Santa” by Debbie Macomber. Be sure to let the library know what holiday book or books you have read to be entered in the December Book Challenge.

Because of the pandemic the Friends of the Harlem Library have not been able to host the annual wine and cheese fundraiser for two years. If you would like to make a donation as part of your end- of-the-year giving it would be greatly appreciated. Donations may be given at the library or sent to Valerie Van Voast, PO Box 172, Turner, MT 59542. Thank you.
