Libraries are Hope, says Sno-Isle Executive Director

 

By Lois Langer Thompson, Executive Director, Sno-Isle Libraries

It has been a hard and heavy time. On top of two years of a pandemic, recent tragedies across our nation have left us stunned and many of us feeling disbelief and exhaustion.

How do we continue to hope and move forward? Libraries can be that hope.

You have a place at your local library with common gathering spaces for all. At any given time, you’ll find students working on assignments, immigrants looking for community resources, travelers researching their next vacation, job seekers checking out laptops and hotspots, and people looking for a warm dry place for the day. And it’s all good. We invite you into our spaces just as you are. Your beliefs, inquisitiveness, and desire to learn are welcome here.
