In brief: Kellogg author to speak at library

COEUR D’ALENE – Julie Whitesel Weston, author of “The Good Times Are All Gone Now,” will be at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library, 702 E. Front Ave., on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Weston, who grew up in Kellogg, will share stories of the Kellogg community, told to her over several years, along with her own story. The people, mining history and her adolescence weave together against a background of the Cold War, post-McCarthyism and labor strife.

The free program is offered as part of the Your Place in History Series sponsored by area public libraries, the Molstead Library at North Idaho College, and the Museum of North Idaho. The presentation is funded in part by a grant from the Friends of the Coeur d’Alene Public Library.
