The history, culture and geography of Slovenia and how it commemorates World War II through sport and physical activity will be the subject of a Novel Destinations presentation at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 19 at the Coeur d’Alene library.
Sharing images and information will be Pullman resident and Slovenian citizen, Mateja Lonar, Ph.D. She is in the process of organizing a trip to her native Slovenia for the 63rd March Along the Barbed Wire and Run of Trios, a walk and racing event that commemorates the liberation of the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, at the end of World War II.
Novel Destinations is sponsored by the Coeur d’Alene Public Library to provide area residents the opportunity to share their photos and stories from trips around the world. Anyone with a program to share is encouraged to contact the Library Foundation at 208-769-2380 or by email at cdalibraryfoundation@gmail.com.
