I had a very unfortunate experience at the library again. This has been a repeated experience…read morealmost every time I frequent this place. Upon walking in, there are a couple of shelves featuring various types of books. What I find interesting is that there are always books on these shelves that favor left-leaning topics. There are a few reasons this is disappointing. One, the majority of this community has the opposite value system. So to many, this would feel like intentional gas-lighting. Secondly, I don't understand why the library wants to engage in such divisive topics? If they feel the need to display these type of books, why not offer some balance and include all voices and perspectives instead of just one? Visiting this library always makes me feel disenfranchised and bummed out.

This excellent library is part of the reason we moved to Clark fork 10 years ago. It's cozy, with…read morereading nooks, a great periodicals section, music and movies, and free digital resources like Freegal. Yes it's small--the town has fewer than 600 people. Yet the library is always cozy, welcoming, and sufficient. All they need now is a replacement for Pete the Library Cat (RIP). I've found that if I purchase books, I generally don't finish them; but if they come with a due date, I have an incentive to read and explore. In the past year, this library has probably purchased a dozen new books for me. I read the Bookshelf review column in the Wall Street Journal, get excited about some new title (this happens frequently with me), and go to the library website to put it on hold. Sometimes they have it, in which case they ship it to me at the Clark Fork branch. If they don't have it, they'll find it on Inter-library loan; in the recent past this includes 50-lb. art tomes and a book out of print since the 1950s. If they think it'll interest their clientele, they'll buy it. Any way it comes, I receive an email notification and can descend from my snug aerie on the mountainside, snatch my shiny new prize from the friendly library ladies, and flee back home to my cozy chair by the fire to crack it open. No, it's not a big-city library; I don't expect that. It's a gem in this small mountain town, an asset to the folk who live here, and my second-favorite building in Clark Fork.

Everyone who works here is fantastic, with a special shout-out to Josie for her children's story times. My kids LOVE story time at the Priest River library.

For a small-town library, the Lincoln County Public Library does a really good job. I can't rate…read moreit as highly as the Seattle Public Library, which I also reviewed, but that's only in terms of absolute quality, rather than in terms of how it meets or exceeds my expectations. In this type of a contest, the Lincoln County Library would win. The people who run the library have a vision for the library, and it isn't one which is mired in the past. Libby had interest access through the library long before many small towns did, and they continue to offer it to visitors as well as people who don't have their own internet access. With a library card, it is possible to reserve books online, and also order them through their participating libraries interlibrary loan service. Naturally it is also possible to rent media such as DVDs and VHS tapes, and there are a few new releases as well as a decent selection of B&W classics. There seems to be online/phone access to reference librarians as well, although I haven't tried this service. All in all, I think that this library has done an excellent job of serving the community.
