Protecting our libraries

Libraries are community spaces. The hostile dismantling of the IMLS in recent weeks threatens their continued existence in our communities. Without free access to information, the social order will suffer — moreso than many members of our society already do.

Please remind yourself of the responsibility of the fourth estate to protect the public’s right to access information. Libraries and news outlets are close siblings in the fight against tyranny.

Amenia Fire support

On Sunday, April 13, the Amenia Fire Company sponsored our monthly Pancake Breakfast. We were pleased to have a large crowd of 187 people in attendance for our monthly meal. We rely on the breakfasts to raise needed money for general operations and we always appreciate the support of the community. We thank everyone who attends our events and hope you will join us at our Ham Supper on May 3, from 4 to 7 at the firehouse.
