Idaho Center for the Book Announces Appointment of New Advisory Board Member from Northern Idaho

The Idaho Center for the Book, housed at the Hemingway Center at Boise State University, will appoint Claire Davis to its advisory board.

Davis is a creative writing instructor at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston and a novelist. Her books include “Season of the Snake” and “Winter Range,” which received the Mountains and Plains Booksellers Award for Fiction and the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award. Her work has appeared in the Pushcart Prize Anthology and the Best American Short Stories.

The Idaho Center for the Book was established to encourage and promote an interest in reading, writing, making, disseminating and collecting books. The ICB also seeks to preserve and publicize the bibliophilic heritage of the Gem State.

ICB publishes a semi-annual newsletter, as well as books and videos relating to Idaho and book history, book arts and related book topics. It sponsors, with the assistance of the Idaho Commission on the Arts, “Booker’s Dozen,” a biennial statewide traveling exhibition of books by 14 Idaho artists. The ICB also coordinates with, and supports the efforts of, a variety of state and national organizations that share Center interests and goals.
