Good morning, Council Bluffs.

Council Bluffs Library is hosting its Our Community Reads event titled 'Coming Together,' which focuses on local organizations, individuals and stories that define the community.

The program offers residents a chance to connect with Council Bluffs’ unique heritage (as detailed in the news release).

Clarion Campbell, a retiree at The Grove, has struggled with constant I-80 noise since the highway expanded, and an Iowa DOT study measured her home at 68 decibels (above the 66-decibel impact mark).

She remains frustrated as federal rules and cost limits stopped noise wall construction.

ISU Extension and Outreach in West Pottawattamie County elected new council officers who will hire staff, manage the budget, and determine programming for local projects.

The council will lead initiatives and strengthen community services.

Firefly will host Give Kids a Smile Day on Friday to provide free dental care for 100 children + meet the rising need among families lacking insurance and transportation.
