A big thank you to Troy and everyone from Zoo Montana who shared amazing animals with us yesterday. Sidney the laughing Kookaburra along with the Three Banded Amarillo, the Eastern Screech Owl and the Ball Python all visited for our last Thursday Morning Summer Reading Program. How exciting to know we can visit these animals any time at Zoo Montana. #zooanimals #billingslibrary #mtlibraries #librariesofinstagram

Did you know the library has a free language system called Mango Languages?

Or enjoy extra French flavor with their other specialty courses: Romance and Wine and Cheese. Bastille Day commemorates the storming of the notorious fortress-prison, La Bastille, by the French masses in 1789, sparking the beginning of the French Revolution. For many in France and Francophiles alike, it's a day of celebration with concerts, dancing, and of course, fireworks! #learnalanguage #bastilleday #billingslibrary #mtlibraries #librariesofinstagram

We had a great time today with Sean Gaskell, learning about the West African kora, and listening to the glorious music he played with it. Thanks, Sean! #billingspubliclibrary #africanmusic #kora
Sean Gaskell will give a performance and educational demonstration on the kora, an ancient 21 stringed harp from West Africa. He will feature traditional songs and personal compositions. Many songs tell ancient stories of conflict and hardship, while others praise noted leaders. All are welcome at the free concert. Saturday, July 8, 11 am, under the Oculus. #billingspubliclibrary #seangaskell #africanmusic #kora #librarymusic
