The Library is looking for a handyman to do odd jobs for the library to include maintenance (inside & outside), plumbing, and shelf building for the inside. We also are in need of someone to trim the deadwood out of the trees in the backyard at the library. If you are interested or know someone who is, please contact Tammy Gray at the library at 208-834-2785 or drop by for a chat. Thank you!

We are also sorry to say goodbye to Mrs. Chick, our Program Director. We hope she enjoys her retirement, but that leaves the Library in the lurch -- again! If you are interested in the position or know someone who would be, please give us a call or drop by. Our children and teens need someone with a heart for teaching!

Girls Who Code's Free Summer Programs
Apply now to Girls who Cde's free summer programs with options running June 16 - August 11! They've got two great opportunities, so you can choose the one that fits your needs:

Their 2 - week Summer Immersion Program (SIP) hosts current 9th-11th graders in live virtual classrooms led by industry - leading companies like Metlife, Bank of America, and Accenture. You'll learn how to get creative with game design. By the end of the program, you'll learn the fundamentals of game design, UX, the iterative design process, and more, as you build out a suite of short games using the p5.js library for JavaScript. You can even apply for laptop and hotspot access and grants up to $300 for financial support!

Their Self-Pace Program gives current 9th-12th graders the flexibility to learn to code through independent study and
real-world projects. By the end of the program, you'll earn beginner-level certificates of completion in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript for web development or intermediate-level certificates of completion in Python for Cybersecurity or Data Science.

Both programs introduce you to inspiring industry professionals and unlock lifelong college and career support. For more information on our virtual Summer Programs, check out our website or attend a webinar. Our Alumni Panel Webinar is happening February 9th! This is and amazing opportunity to hear directly from students who have completed the program and how it has impacted their lives.
