Lending Library

The Women's Center has an in-house lending library featuring a variety of books and reference materials focusing on women's topics. The collection is made up entirely of donated materials, and new acquisitions are added frequently. Donations are always welcome.

The largest group of books was donated by the estate of JoAnne Russell upon her death. JoAnne served as a former coordinator in the early years of the Women's Center and helped to lay a strong foundation for the Center's success. She was also an accomplished local historian and her focus on women's history in Idaho is sorely missed.

Books, videos, and reference materials are available for check out for a 2-week period during the Center's business hours from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Videos can also be viewed at the Center on our TV/VCR unit.
