Support children's educational programs countywide by shopping in Trolls Corner bookstore in the Colfax Branch of Whitman County Library. The store carries a nice variety of books, movies and music with prices starting at just 10 cents.

With the return of fall, comes library card sign up month. Anyone registering for a library card during the month of September will be placed in a grand prize drawing for $25 gift certificates to a local business of their choice. Sponsored by the Friends of Whitman County Library.

Fall also brings a whole new lineup of library classes and programs countywide. Visit library's events calendar for a complete listing for all fourteen locations.

Among scheduled events is a local appearance by renowned quilter Margaret Miller on Thursday, September 9 at 7 p.m. in the Colfax Library and also, the library hits the road September 9-12 for the Palouse Empire Fair. Kids visiting the library's booth will spin the Wheel of Prizes while adults enjoy a news selection of images from the library's Rural Heritage collection.

Whitman County Library will close September 4-6 for the Labor Day holiday. No items will be due during this closure but the online products (including downloadable audiobooks, see below) and bookdrops will remain available for customer convenience.
