Yesterday, the Library was honored to host a naturalization ceremony where 57 people from 20 countries became U.S. citizens. We were reminded that we are all still growing and dreaming.
Assistant Library Director Pritha Hariharan welcomed the new citizens to the community and reminded us what libraries are all about.
"We are truly honored to host this important and joyful ceremony today, and we are grateful to be part of such a meaningful moment in your lives. The public Library is - and will always be - a free, open, and inclusive space for everyone. It belongs to all of us, no matter where we come from, what language we speak, or how long we’ve called this country home. Libraries exist to serve the public, to strengthen communities, and to ensure that access to knowledge and opportunity is never limited."
Please join us in congratulating our region’s newest U.S. citizens! ❤️

My ancestor Philip Harry Poindexter
4 Feb 2024
The almost fabled-seeming story of the Beaverhead Ranch begins with Phillip Poindexter and William Orr. In 1865, Orr drove a portion of the herd into Montana but unable to winter near Bannack, he trailed their cattle into the lower Beaverhead on Blacktail Creek. Amazed at how the cattle flourished on the highly nutritious and varied native grasses, Orr and Poindexter, over the next two years, trailed their remaining herd from Shasta Valley in California to the Beaverhead Valley until they had their entire stock business located along Blacktail Creek. The P&O Ranch was established covering 30,000 acres raising beef, sheep and draft horses.
Among the 50 or so active brands in the state when the central brand housing was established in 1873, the Masonic square and compass brand was the first registered in the Montana branding book.
