The Coeur d’Alene Public Library is beginning to get into the holiday spirit by serving as a drop site for two community activities. Participants are invited to sign up for a library card.
New and gently used books for children kindergarten age through the third grade can be left in the box in the library lobby, 702 E. Front Ave., through Dec. 10.
The books will be distributed to children in schools districts in Kootenai County. Financial donations are also being accepted to buy books for young readers. Donations should be sent to: Coeur d’Alene School District No. 271, c/o Jingle Books, 1400 N. Northwood Center Ct., Coeur d’Alene, ID 83814.
Volunteers interested in helping with this project are asked to call Annette at 208-667-8112 Ext. 104.
The library is also a collection point for applications to receive support during the holidays from the Coeur d’Alene Press Christmas for All program. The deadline to submit an application is Monday, Dec. 5 at 8 p.m. Only one application per family may be submitted.
Distribution of gift cards will be Dec. 15, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Dec. 16, 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Kootenai County Fire & Rescue Facility, 5271 E. Seltice Way, Post Falls.
Applicants who do not already have a library card are encouraged to apply for one while they are at the library. A photo ID and proof of address is needed to receive a library card. A parent or legal guardian must sign the application for people younger than 18. The card is good for use at any member library in the Cooperative Information Network.
