Shrinking the 'digital divide,' area libraries slowly reopen

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT — Hundreds of folks this week were reunited with a dear old friend: their local library.

Nearly a year after the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered buildings and halted in-person services, a steady stream of library patrons returned.

Several libraries in Snohomish and Island counties have reopened in limited fashion.

The Everett Public Library opened the doors to both branches Tuesday. Each day since, over 100 patrons have visited the downtown branch, at 2702 Hoyt Ave., to browse books and use other services, such as computers and Wi-Fi access.

1. I have sorely missed one aspect of the local library..

...the ability to go and use a printer when mine failed.

And to copy an important document because of failure of same HP printer.

Oh, and the library used book sale, too!
