If you love birds, FVCC library has a lot to offer you.  Did you know that as a resident of Flathead Valley you can get a library card? If you are interested in doing this, email library@fvcc.edu or call 756-3856 for more information. Although we have many online resources such as the Cornell Birds of the World database, due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the FVCC Library is not open to the public. However, we can provide curbside pickup for books and DVDs.  Check out the list below and email or phone us with your requests.
