I love my little library here in the woods Plus the…read moreLadies who work here are super sweet and will try their hardest to try and help you with anything you ask!

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.

This location happens to be within a few minutes walk from my home. I've been coming here for…read moreyears and have come to appreciate the branch for it's size and selection of books, movies, and music. I also like the kids programs they put out. My daughter has been a part if the summer reading program for years and I believe that has helped her become the avid reader she is today. They also have other children's programs that are a lot of fun. The branch staff has basically been the same for quite a long time and they have always been friendly and helpful. The only issue I have found here is parking during summer months. Because it is located next to a city pool it can sometimes be an issue to find a spot. The Spokane libraries do a wonderful job of making the library experience easy. You can order materials that are located at other branches and have them delivered to your local branch. You can get free music downloads by popular artists through Freegal. Computer usage is easy and you can block times online. If you haven't been for a while you should check out all they have to offer.

Let me just be up front and say that I have long had a love affair with libraries. How can you…read morenot???? Access to thousands of amazing books, magazines, movies and music. It's the greatest place on earth. My idea of a great Saturday afternoon is to spend an hour browsing the aisles of the library and picking out books based on fun titles, cool cover photos and other random selection processes. The librarians at the Shadle branch are friendly and helpful. The kids section is adorable with little couches and blocks strewn about for playing. Overall, great library.
