Many families take to the open road over Memorial Day to take advantage of the long weekend and to celebrate the unofficial start of summer. Idaho State Police wants to remind all drivers to remain safe.

Last year there were 129 crashes in Idaho with 81 injuries and two fatalities. Idaho State Police has provided these safety reminders which are great for both Idaho and Washington drivers:

Wear Your Seatbelts: Police in both Idaho and Washington will be strictly enforcing seat belt laws and drivers with children are reminded to make sure all children are in age appropriate safety seats and that children under 12 are in the back seat.

Designate a Driver: Nearly 30 people a day die in an alcohol related crash. Make sure to designate a driver before anyone in your party drinks.

The Community Library Network at Post Falls hopes to create a community dialog by screening the film "Bully" on Friday, May 17th.

The award-winning documentary looks at bullying in American schools. Due to intense thematic material, disturbing content and strong language the film is rated PG-13. Following to screening, Hannah Masters, an anti-bullying advocate, will lead a discussion using material provided by the Bully Project, a national movement to stop bullying. 

In addition to the film, there are about 100 anti-bullying posters created by Post Falls High School art students are on display at the library. Students were asked to create the posters as part of an art class assignment. The posters have messages like "Be Loud for the Silent", "Bully Free Zone", and "It Starts With Me".

The event is free and no registration is required. For more information contact the Post Falls Library at (208) 773-1506.
