Rathdrum residents support the idea of a city campus, but they don't want to pay for it through taxes or bonds.
This consensus emerged from surveys, open houses, and community feedback presented by Architects West, J.U.B. Engineering and the Langdon Group, a public involvement company, to the city council on Wednesday, concerning the Rathdrum Campus project.
The excitement was palpable as parents escorted their little ones to see the unveiling of a new addition in the Coeur d'Alene Public Library.
In the center of the children's library stood a wooden structure, wrapped with a bow and engraved with the words, "Kids who read succeed." The new story cabin was already catching the imaginations of the children in attendance, many who peeked in the windows and waited patiently to go inside and explore.
