Fabulous Flix to feature 'The King's Speech'
COEUR d'ALENE - A special screening of "The King's Speech" in honor of the royal wedding will be shown May 12 at 7 p.m. in the Community Room at the library.
This Oscar-winning film is offered as part of "Fabulous Flix @ the Library" and is sponsored by the Coeur d'Alene Public Library Foundation.

"The King's Speech" is based on the true story of King George VI's quest to find his voice.
It stars Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, and Helena Bonham Carter. The movie won Academy Awards this year for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. The film is rated R for adult language and is 118 minutes long.
'Tales From the Bordello' book available
"Tales From the Bordello," a special publication of the Shoshone News-Press, is now available for the PG entertainment of the Silver Valley.
The stories are not history lessons, per se, but rather family-friendly recollections and tales from Silver Valley residents who remember the bordellos of Wallace in their heyday.
The book is a fun, light read, and good as a goofy gift for Silver Valley history buffs looking for something a little different.
"Tales From the Bordello" will be available for $5 at local grocery stores, antique shops, and restaurants, or by walk-in or delivery direct from the News-Press office at 620 E. Mullan Ave., in Osburn.
Copies can be acquired by mail at: Shoshone News-Press, P.O. Box 589, Osburn, ID 83849.
