Dear Reader,
The Russell and District Regional Library is very pleased to welcome our newest Librarian, Rachel Johnson. Rachel is relatively new to Russell. An Educator, Rachel loves people, coffee, books, and animals.
February 19-25 is Freedom to Read Week.

This year’s theme is “Censorship, Freedom of Expression and Access to Information.”

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
“But Libraries are about freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education, (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university), about entertainment, about making safe spaces, and about access to information.” –Neil Gaiman
Happy reading, until next time,
The Library Ladies
