The North Lake County Public Library took a little time out to ring in the New Year, but it is open Thursday.

Here are the upcoming programs:

1. Friday Night at the Library Movie

Friday, January 3 at 6 p.m.: Family friendly movies (PG or PG-13) will be shown at 6 p.m. the first Friday of each month beginning in January 2020. Check the website for movie titles. You must be in the library before 6 p.m. to attend, as the doors lock then. You are welcome to bring your own non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. Popcorn will be provided. This program is free and open to the public.

Please check the website for the upcoming title at www.northlakecountylibrary.org.

2. Adult Coloring Program: “South of the Border!”

Thursday, January 9, 2020 from 2-3:30 p.m. The holidays are over and everyone is ready to head south for some sunshine and warmer temperatures. Let’s make our own heat right here in the Library and have some fun with an activity full of vibrant color, Latin rhythm and spicy snacks. We provide coloring supplies or you may bring your own. Cha-cha-cha!

3. Movin’ to the Music: Wednesday, Jan. 15, 5-6 p.m.

The Holidays are over, winter is truly here and you know you need to move your body… is there any way to make this fun?! We here at the Library think so, and invite you to join us premiering a new kind of program called MOVIN’ TO THE MUSIC.

Drawing inspiration from a variety of sources including classroom music, folk dance, and assisted living activities, this multi-generational family-friendly hour of movement will explore several ways of incorporating gentle movement and music. It’s colorful. It’s rhythmic. It’s what January needs. Wear comfy shoes.

4. Humanities Montana Conversation: “Montana’s Changing Political Landscape” with Mike Dennison.

Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 6:30 p.m. Mike Dennison, chief political reporter for the Montana Television Network, has spent most of the past three decades reporting on politics and public policy in Montana, for newspapers, television and the wire services, and this year released his new book, “Inside Montana Politics: A Reporter’s View from the Trenches.”

He talks about the trends that have shaped the political landscape in Montana, including figures and events covered in his book, and how the media report on politics.
