The Mineral County Public Library has a new website
Mineral Independent | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 6 years, 9 months AGO
Thanks to the Friends of the Mineral County Public Library and a local web developer, the Mineral County Public Library now has a new mobile-optimized website.
“We’ve wanted to update our website for today’s mobile world for some time,” said Library Director, Guna Chaberek. “We got some funds raised through the Friends of the Library, and our webmaster Glenda S. Wallace went to work, donating a great deal of her time, as usual, to our cause. The new site is now launched and we ask you to check it out at mineralcountylibrary.org.”
Chaberek particulary likes the prominence of the Quick Search Library Catalog button on the new site. “It’s immediately visible on every page,” she explains. “Patrons can go directly to the Montana Shared Partnership Catalog to find and order Library items, but we hope they look around a bit, too.”
The website has expanded content for the Library’s two branches-Alberton and St. Regis-and retained its Popular Searches page with links to varied education and nursing resources. The Events page has a comprehensive list of Library activities, including the monthly calendar; a peek at the Superior Library’s Facebook posts; and ways you can support the Library.

Bears seeking food sources ahead of hibernation
Montana is bear country. Black bears and grizzly bears are very active right now as denning season approaches. Bears are actively seeking food sources before winter, and residents are advised to clean up or secure food attractants, such as garbage, dog food, and livestock. Bears are particularly seeking out natural fruits, such as berries, and domestic fruits, such as apples and pears. Residents are advised to pick up any fallen fruit from their property to help prevent attracting a bear.
Rendezvousing with the past
A rugged group of individuals with a thirst for adventure and fortune made their way west after the Lewis and Clark Expedition – after some time in the wilderness they would rendezvous in places like St. Louis to trade fur and goods as well as engage in friendly competition. Stories of daring and close escapes from Indians were swapped around a campfire by people like John Colter, who ran hundreds of miles in nothing but his Birthday suit to get safely back to civilization.
