Library sets 'Live & Learn' programs

Live & Learn programs will be presented at both West Bonner County Library District libraries on Saturday, Nov. 3.

At the Priest River branch library, join Debra Esteban and learn to decorate professional looking cutout cookies using a variety of techniques. Participants will decorate cookies to take home, along with instructions for creating cookie works of art. The class will run from noon until 2 pm. Seating is limited. Contact the library to reserve a seat.

At the Blanchard branch library, long-term food storage will be the topic. Participants will learn how to be prepared for emergencies and adversity, how to rotate stored foods and how to prepare meals from your pantry. The program starts at 10:30 a.m.

Also at Blanchard, “Ranger Rick” Hall will teach a combined class on bug out bags and sheltering in place on Saturday, Nov. 10 at noon. Learn how to build a bug out bag and learn why being prepared to “bug out” is so important. Find out under what circumstances it may be necessary to shelter in place and what things to have on hand to be prepared for such an event.

Registration is not necessary for either of the programs at the Blanchard library.
