The Kootenai-Shoshone Library District has been through half a dozen consolidations, but for Post Falls voters, the ballot proposal facing them on the Nov. 3 ballot will be a new experience.

Why should Post Falls give away a relatively new facility that hasn’t even been paid off yet? Those are reasonable questions, and they have reasonable answers/Doug Floyd, Spokesman-Review Editorial Board. More here.
