HEALTH and PRIVACY POD

Challis Public Library's Health and Privacy Pod is ready for public use! Stop in and get a tour.Two years ago the Challis Public Library introduced a state-of-the-art privacy pod, providing patrons with a secluded space for medical appointments, focused work, video chatting or quiet contemplation. Encased in soundproof material, the pod offers a sanctuary from the bustling atmosphere of the library. Additionally, it allows secure and private interactions with healthcare professionals without having to drive an hour or more.

Equipped with adjustable lighting and comfortable seating, the pod caters to all needs, whether it's medical appointments, intensive research, meditation, family chats or simply a moment of respite from the outside world. With privacy concerns at the forefront, this innovative addition ensures that every visitor can engage with the library's resources in a tranquil and secure environment.

We are currently allowing users on a first come, first served basis but please feel free to call and reserve at your convivence. 208-879-4267

 

 

Librarian’s Recommendation

Jaime Braswell

I absolutely loved this book! It’s the perfect mix of cute and mysterious, and it’ll keep you guessing the whole way through. Molly, the maid, is such a lovable character—she’s has a lot of quirks that make her really stand out. You’ll find yourself rooting for her the entire time. Seriously, you have to read this one. It’s such a fun ride! Once you've had a chance to read it, let's talk!
