Library District Receives Business of the Month


The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce honored the East Bonner County Library District with the February Business of the Month award for their excellent resources and services to the area.

Founded in 1910, the East Bonner County Library celebrates 100 years with expansive programs and services today from their humble beginnings. With insightful and informative staff, they provide multiple resources including books, videos, CDs, DVDs, wi-fi, internet computers, and a variety of services to the community, even going above and beyond by obtaining resources for residents with no-cost services such as their Interlibrary loan program. For people living in the district who are homebound or unable to come to the library due to physical limitations or lack of transportation, they provide home delivery. With a full list of free programs, such as storytime for kids, computer classes, tutoring, notary services and more, they are constantly striving to provide resources to our east Bonner County communities.

This month the library expanded their hours at the Clark Fork Branch and are now open at 10 am daily. The Sandpoint Library is open September 1 through May 31 on Monday through Thursday at 10 am to 8 pm and on Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. From June 1 to August 31, they open 10 am to 7pm Monday through Thursday and 10 am to 5 pm Fridays and Saturdays. They are closed on Sundays and holidays.

The Chamber congratulates the East Bonner County Library District for this honor and for their continuous service to provide resources to our community and encourages the general public to utilize the incredible resources available.
