A Very Special Story Time: Welcome, Wilder!

November 14

Meet Wilder, the newest member of the Missoula Public Library family. Children’s Librarian Kayla Whitaker and her husband welcomed their new baby boy in July. We are all bursting at the seams with library (baby) joy, and we want to share that joy with all of you who know and love Kayla. We’ll share some stories, spend time with Kayla and her baby, and snack on delicious treats. Craft materials will be available for you to make a welcome-to-the-world message for Wilder, or anyone else you’d like to celebrate.
