To the Library and Beyond
 With summery weather we hope everyone’s Fourth of July was special, especially being a noteworthy anniversary celebrating the founding of our country 250 years ago with the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.That day began the course of our democratic form of government. All the special community celebrations across this land have reminded us of the important words of the Declaration “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
One entire library wall is filled with military uniforms loaned by community members (photo below). Reactions to the display and stories elicited from it have been gratifying. The  display honors all veterans. Please join us by visiting the exhibit that will be up for the rest of the month. A bonus, of course, is our cool lower level location. It’s always refreshing on a warm day! We’re open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10-5:30 pm.
Announcing a Save the Date - August 11. It’s the 2nd Annual Community Concert in the Park. Performing will be the Prairie Community Band under the direction of Mr. John Eynon. We’ll have full details about this family friendly City Park event
in a forthcoming column. We hope you will reserve this evening of music and food among friends and neighbors.
And coming up thisSaturday, July 11th, is an America 250 Picnic at the Monastery Spirit Center Johanna Room. RSVP to Sister Betty Schumacher at 208 962-5056. The museum will host a special viewing of the America 250 exhibit as well. Bring a side dish or dessert to share. All other foods, beverages, and utensils will be provided. The picnic starts at 12:30. All is at no charge, yet donations gladly accepted.
Nice to continue to receive high usage of the library. Come join in the coolness! And keep on reading.
