CLARINDA, Iowa - The Lied Public Library in Clarinda is offering a program to die for. Specifically, Historian Kathy Wilson's "Fashions To Die For" program teaches about fashion during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Library Director Andrew Hoppmann told KXCV/KRNW that this lecture-style program features the deadly secrets behind the tight corsets and the toxic dyes in the clothing, making people sick, injured, or die.
