Public libraries are foundational to our democracy and freedom. Benjamin Franklin established the first public library in 1731, before we were established as a nation. Every citizen and resident should have the same access and freedom. Reading and education are essential for a democracy and well-rounded citizens.
As a former teacher, mother of four grown children and grandmother of 13, I can attest to the importance of equal access to books and information. It is the mark of a truly civilized society.

What I greatly appreciate about your publication is that it supports our local community in all aspects while remaining unbiased. In the March 26/April 1 issue, I enjoyed reading the film article about the locally filmed movies made throughout the decades in our backyard.
A movie that has just been released in the same backyard is Mickey 17, which features a local born and bred Sebastopolian, Cameron Britton. Sonoma County provides a magnificent stage set for artists of all kinds.
Thank you for the ink.
