Good morning, Coeur d'Alene.

A new trustee will be chosen for the Community Library Network Board on May 20 as Post Falls awaits the opening of its adults-only room for mature materials.

Idaho State Police and Spirit Lake Police investigated a two-vehicle fatal crash on Friday night at about 11:40 p.m. at the intersection of State Highway 54 and Coeur d’Alene Drive — a 23-year-old Subaru driver who reportedly failed to yield collided with a 61-year-old motorcyclist riding a 2022 Honda touring-style motorcycle; alcohol is believed to have contributed and traffic was blocked for about two hours while emergency responders cleared the scene.

The Coeur d'Alene Historic Preservation Commission is hosting several public events this May as part of Preservation Month, including a reception at the historic Northern Pacific Railway Depot.
