The Well Read Moose Bookstore continues to be a wonderful asset to our community. Most recently the owner of the Moose, Melissa DeMotte, helped with our PEO fundraiser (PEO provides scholarships to women continuing their education).

She and her staff are better than excellent with helping find books and up to date with the latest books. If there is a community need with fundraisers, Melissa and crew will be there. 

Next on her list is the libraries than were damaged due to water. The Well Read Moose and another independent book store, Bookishly Happy, are combining efforts for a fundraiser April 26-27 to raise funds for books for Post Falls and Athol libraries. 

We are so blessed to have these local people and their contributions to our community. We need to support them as they support our community.
