Events
Please bring the whole family for an author event with local author Eija Sumner (Crocodile Hungry) to celebrate the publication of her new children's book, The Good Little Mermaid's Guide to Bedtime, on Saturday, March 23, at 2:30pm at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre in downtown Moscow. Sumner will read, sign, and answer your questions about this hilarious new aquatic bedtime book that Booklist calls "deliciously naughty" and "utterly original."

EIJA SUMNER writes quirky and humorous picture books like her very first book, Crocodile Hungry. She has an MFA from Hamline University in writing for children and young adults. Eija lives in Moscow, Idaho, with her family and a passel of pets. She agrees that reading is an essential practice for good little mermaids (and humans too).
Come join author and illustrator Chelsey Byrd Lewallen for the launch of her first book, Clothing Alterations and Repairs: Maintaining a Sustainable Wardrobe on Saturday, April 13, at 3pm, at the 1912 Center. During the event, the author will give a brief demonstration of basic alteration and repair techniques and University of Idaho Apparel, Textiles and Design students will be ready to help YOU repair clothing that needs to be repaired! All are welcome to bring a clean garment that needs zipper repair, darning/ mending, and patching if you would like to learn how to extend the life of clothing! Pre-order a copy of the book at BookPeople or purchase one at the event to have your copy signed by the author. The event is free and open to the public!
