Big Sky Community Library is beginning its 16th year serving the community. October and November will see the annual FOL membership drive and the Friends are always looking for new members to support the library. If you’re interested in becoming an FOL member, a form is available at bigskylibrary.org.
The Friends of the Library will held their annual meeting on Oct. 21 in the Big Sky Community Library. A progress report was presented for the library’s fiscal year and FOL members reelected officers for the 2015-2016 calendar.
Summer reading program success
The “Every Hero has a Story” summer reading program was once again a huge success. With an average of 40 attendees for the six different programs, visitors and circulation were at record-breaking numbers for summer use. The 25 students who visited the library at least six times throughout the summer and completed the reading requirements were treated to a special party this month to celebrate a fantastic summer of reading and programs.
New Releases
There are several new releases available in the library for circulation. Watch for the “new” sticker on all recently acquired books. Here are a few:
“H is for Hawk” By Helen Macdonald
This book explores the story of Helen Macdonald, who purchases a goshawk named Mabel, and battles with the reality of losing her father, a falconer.
“The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” By Marie Kondo
This No. 1 New York Times best-selling guide to decluttering your home from Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes readers step-by-step through her revolutionary KonMari Method for simplifying, organizing, and storing.
“Being Mortal” By Atul Gawande
Practicing surgeon Atul Gawande examines the limitations and failures of medicine in reference to aging, frailty, and death.

Event Details
My Barking Dog is a nightmare comedy that tells the story of Toby and Melinda, two lonely people whose lives are forever changed the night they encounter a starving coyote at their apartment building. Over time they grow to expect him, leaving ritual offerings to entice the coyote every night. Toby and Melinda forge a connection over this visitor and share curiosity and concern about his presence in the city. The coyote expands their world–until, one night, their world is shattered. Their lives are pushed suddenly into uncharted territory, sending them on a surreal odyssey that changes their city–and the world–forever.
Directed by LX Miller. Starring Max Schneider and Denise Hergett
