To the Library and Beyond
Hungry for music and sweet treats? Next Tuesday in City Park beginning at 6:30 pm is the place to be. The music is by the Prairie Community Band conducted again this year by John Eynon. Americana and patriotic numbers  are the feature, so bring hand flags if you want to add to the celebratory theme. Bring some spare coins or dollar bills to purchase by donation Celebration Crispies, snickerdoodles, oatmeal and a variety of
other cookies and/or cupcakes for the sweet part. Don’t forget to bring your own picnic dinner if desired, lawn chairs for family, friends and  neighbors. Playground equipment is there for youngsters that want to play and listen
at the same time. Do please leave dogs at home per city ordinance. See you there! And remember, the first two
people to join the library or renew their library borrowing privileges at the concert will receive an entry pass for the
upcoming Lewiston Roundup Rodeo! This pass is valued at more than the cost of library patronage.

Kids at Story Hour last Tuesday enjoyed singing, marching & hand dancing to the rousing songs performed
by the Prairie Ukulele Players. A few of the children with July birthdays were highlighted along with singing Happy Birthday to America. The ukulele performers told a bit about the differences between their instruments and a guitar, showing how they position their fingers on the strings and hold the instrument. The players are open to doing other musical appearances, and for now perhaps the best way should your club or group be interested in a performance,  please contact the library. 208 962-3714.

New acquisitions continue to trickle in. Just received is the Idaho Blue Book published by the Idaho Secretary of State Office every few years. It is full of Idaho history, government organization information, listing of who’s who of  State government for 2025-2026, lovely photos and other information making it a one-volume resource on many things Idaho. You’ll find it in our expanding Idaho/NW section or let us help you find it.
Reading helps put ourselves in the shoes of others. It also grows our capacity for empathy. So Keep on Reading!
