PRIEST LAKE – The Priest Lake Public Library held a Community Picnic for patrons to thank the community and volunteers for their support, Saturday, Aug. 16. The library was founded 40 years ago and thanks to many volunteers, the library continues to thrive. For the picnic, the library provided free pizza, salad, cake, drinks and a magician for entertainment for more than 80 people who attended. The Community Picnic was also the grand finale for the Summer Reading Program. This year’s summer reading theme was
“Fizz, Boom and Read,” which the magician Cecil Lewis used throughout his magic act. The kids loved participating in the magic tricks, organizers said. The library raised $367 through a silent auction at the event to help offset costs. Organizers expressed appreciation to all attendees that bid on the items and to the local businesses that made the silent auction possible. For more information about the Priest Lake Public Library, go to priestlake.lili.org or call 208-443-2454.
