Community members show support during Library Day of Action

Events held across Kootenai County as House Bill 710 becomes law

One of Michelle Krewson's fondest memories of the library is walking with her children just a couple blocks from home to the old Coeur d'Alene Public Library on Harrison Avenue. She wasn't able to learn typing in high school due to a broken arm, so the library was where she learned her way around a keyboard. She taught herself how to type on the Mickey Mouse computer in the kids' section while her kids played and pored over books. “We’ve been frequenting the library forever and ever," she said. "We love it.”
