Good morning, Idaho Falls.

Idaho Falls Public Library serves as a community hub by offering art classes, Dungeons and Dragons, and early literacy programs along with its collection of books—assistant director Beth Swenson noted that while the three-level facility features a drive-thru and dedicated meeting spaces, plans for new tech upgrades have been delayed due to funding cuts.

A Mountain Home father, Ron Dudley, founded Bridging the Gap to help families affected by suicide after his daughter died 11 years ago.

Idaho Falls volunteers will gather today at 9:30 a.m. at 1615 Helix Blvd to help landscape a new accessible home built by Homes For Our Troops for injured veteran Army Staff Sgt. Christopher Byers (who lost both legs in Afghanistan).

Idaho Falls Downtown Development Corporation is testing an app-based parking meter to increase parking turnover by extending on-street limits to four hours and adding increasing fees, with the system set to roll out in October (the first hour costs $1, hours two and three cost $2 each, and the fourth hour costs $10 with a $20 citation if time expires). The new system will help keep downtown parking affordable while encouraging more visitors.

Firefighters successfully contained the 44-acre Rio Vista Fire on Fort Hall Reservation with no structures threatened and crews plan to have full control by 7:00 p.m. tonight—investigators say a vehicle’s hot exhaust ignited dry grass.
