outreach in Flathead County

We are hoping to connect with a young man who will be working with the migrant community in the cherry orchards on the east shore this summer. Most orchards are technically in Lake County and the Polson City Library works with this community, but many of the workers live much closer to our Bigfork Branch Library. We'll be visiting with the workers and their families and inviting them to the library. Right now however, since the cherry crop is going to be late, and our connection is working up in Sidney, we don't have the details worked out. More to follow.

I love all the ideas I've read about on this blog. Montana libraries are certainly innovative and caring!

Kim,

Thanks for your ideas for a SLO grant. I know you are very excited about the possibilities at the Bigfork Branch as soon as the cherry crew returns to the area. We'll let you know about the grants in the next week or so.
