Silver Roots Musical Performance

The Flathead County Library System hosted two talented musicians last Thursday for a wonderful evening of music . Flutest Shawn Wyckoff and violinist Maria Millar performed classical pieces, Irish, American and folk numbers, as well as their own arrangements.
Approximately 70 enthusiastic audience members participated in the concert by asking questions of the two Julliard graduates, requesting songs, and laughing heartily at the repartee.

If you'd like to see more of this sort of programming at your Flathead County libraries, please let us know. And to learn more about Silver Roots, see their website.

The classes will all be held in the same week and each class will be of a different topic, including- Basic Windows, word processing and spreadsheets, Intro to Internet, Easy Email and how to navigate our catalog and web site. Each class is taught at the beginner level. If you know someone interested, there is no registration. There are events calendars in each library and also online at http://flatheadcountylibrary.org/events.htm. Call your local library or Brett at 758.5814 for more info.
