Literary Pavers are two foot square granite blocks located in the brick walkways along the sidewalks in Old Town Pocatello. Each paver is engraved with a literary excerpt from an author with ties to the community. Excerpts reflect some facet of life in the Pocatello area.

You can see photos of the existing pavers at our online gallery (click here).

This is a continuing project. For more information on how to submit an excerpt for consideration, see the call to authors.
