During a visit to Coeur d'Alene today, Gov. Butch Otter and First Lady Lori Otter try out the beaver lodge created by local artists Allen and Mary Dee Dodge for the Seagraves Children’s Library. The lodge, which is part of the wildlife mural created by the Dodges, provides a quiet reading area for young patrons visiting the library.
