Well-Read Moose Anniversary Celebration Since 2014, downtown Coeur d’Alene’s beloved bookstore, the Well-Read Moose, has become the go-to place for bibliophiles to thumb through a well-stocked inventory of riveting readables. The shop is celebrating its seventh birthday this weekend, beginning with a 6 pm in-store event on Friday that features local author David Taylor, whose new book, Urban Trails: Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, will no doubt be required reading for Idaho hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Get up bright and early the following morning for an actual hike on East Tubbs Hill, led by Taylor and in celebration of National Trails Day. It kicks off at 8:30 am. If you drop by the store throughout the weekend, expect deals, prizes and more summer reading material than you could ever possibly get through.
