Readers Dozen March

Spend some of your self-isolating time with a good book and get rewarded for it! March’s Readers Dozen challenge is to read a book published in the 1990s – and you might even have one or two lying around the house that will fit that bill. If not, take a look through the lists below to find a cool read:

And, you might even be able to get started on April’s challenge – Read a book with a cover you hate!

Learn Something New with the Great Courses

If you’re tired of binge watching all the same movies and tv shows, try something just a little different… the Great Courses!

Each Great Course is an educational journey created and taught by expert professors and professionals, designed especially for lifelong learners looking to broaden their knowledge of the world.

With topics that range from photography to the economy to history to cooking (and even more!), we invite you to browse through our audio and video Great Courses collection. It might lead you to a subject that could change your life, or at least your weekend! See what we have here.

We’re Celebrating Idaho Day All Month Long!

Though Idaho Day was March 4, we’re finding having just one day to celebrate Idaho is not enough! And since the Idaho Day theme this year is “Inspiring Idaho Women,” it fits nicely into Women’s History Month. With that in mind, drop in and see our display of “Inspiring Twin Falls Women” inside the Library throughout March.

If you want even more history, subscribe to our newest e-newsletter: New in Local and Idaho History! Every other month, we’ll offer a unique story, a peek at our incredible historical photo collection, upcoming events, and a look at what’s new in books for our region. Subscribe sometime this month and we’ll even enter you into a drawing for a copy of the coffee table photo book, Magic Valley Memories, Vol 3! Here’s where to subscribe.
