The Idaho Humanities Council presents
Douglas Brinkley
at The Community Library on Friday, May 6. A professor of history at Rice University, Brinkley is
one of the most distinguished historians of our time. He is the author, co-author, and editor of more than two dozen books exploring American history and literature, the American presidency, and contemporary culture. In his most recent book,
Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of America
, Brinkley turns his attention to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, chronicling the 32nd President's essential yet unsung legacy as the founder of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and premier protector of America's public lands. The book focuses on some of the important work done by the CCC in Idaho.

April is National Poetry Month! This week Carter Hedberg, director of philanthropy, recommends, "The Wild Rose" by Wendell Berry. The poem can be found in Berry's
New Collected Poems at The Community Library.
Sometimes hidden from me
in daily custom and in trust,
so that I live by you unaware
as by the beating of my heart,
Suddenly you flare in my sight,
a wild rose looming at the edge
of thicket, grace and light
where yesterday was only shade,
and once again I am blessed, choosing
again what I chose before.
