Wilma’s Realm Open House
Wednesday, April 10, 3 pm
What could be more fitting for a teen room named Wilma’s Realm than a dragon? That’s what will be unveiled at the Wilma’s Realm open house at Post Falls Library, Wednesday, April 10, 3 p.m. Folks coming to the event can also try their hand at Nintendo and learn about 3D printers available for use by Community Library Network card holders. Light refreshments, a raffle for a Super One gift basket, and 3-D printed souvenirs will be part of the mix.
The dragon, the center piece of a teen-centric donation box, was created by River City Middle School student Mikylie Arrant and Iron Mountain Studios. While a generous gift from long-time library user Wilma Beauchot, paid for the 1200 square foot structure, now the task at hand is to raise money for teen-friendly technology, chairs, tables, and more.
Individuals and businesses have already contributed to the project to the tune of $12,000. Sponsors include the Friends of the Post Falls Library, Panhandle Carpet One, Columbia Electric Supply and Keystone Lighting, Express Employment Professionals, and the Post Falls Rotary. Another $38,000 needs to be raised to ensure a welcoming environment and send the message that the Post Falls community cares about its teens.
