RATHDRUM — When David Schubert moved here from western Washington, he had a hard time finding books.
“I was obsessed with reading and loved going to libraries, but the library was too far away from my house," he said. "I wanted to make it easier for other kids in Rathdrum with the same problem to be able to have as much access to literature as possible,” Schubert said.
For his Eagle Scout project, he built four library boxes in Majestic, Stub Meyer, Roth and Thayer parks.
