Current Projects:

A series of four courses are offered every other month for adults who are hoping to ease the stress of rapidly advancing technology... and who just want to get a handle on the basics!! We encourage participants to take all four courses in order to graduate from the status of "Digital Fugitives" to "Digital Immigrants". The course materials cover the following: (1)Getting to know your mouse (2) Navigating Microsoft Office Word (3) Internet 101 (4) Resume templates and Saving Documents

 

• Mudgy and Millie Trail

The Mudgy Moose Trail was inspired by the Mudgy & Millie children's book written by Coeur d'Alene author Susan Nipp and illustrated by renowned artist Charles Reasoner. The story follows Mudgy Moose as he searches for his friend Millie Mouse along the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene during a game of hide-and-seek. The trail encourages children of all ages to exercise outdoors while reliving Mudgy's adventures through scenic downtown Coeur d'Alene.

• Novel Destinations

Explore the world right here in your own back yard! Novel Destinations are presentations on exploration that are open to the community. Local community members show pictures and  videos of their travels and give a first hand perspective on these exotic destinations!
