Library Corner (Thursdays, 10am-12pm)
These are challenging times for everyone, but especially for those seeking to follow the Prince of Peace. I often scour the internet for information or background material concerning chaotic current events. However, might I suggest that the internet operates on an attention economy model and is dominated primarily by billionaire capitalists?
So, I have two suggestions for those looking for a different lens through which to view the future.
One is to read foreign newspapers. If you can read another language, it is well worth seeking out news sources in that language. If you know only English, you can still access sources from England, Australia, and Canada to gain perspective.
The other suggestion is to use a library. There is a reason legislators in 21 states have laws that imprison librarians—or are considering such laws. They fear the power of knowledge: unfiltered and unflinching.
On the Trinity Library website, I have included a link to many of the libraries in our county. Here it is: https://www.trinitylibrary.org/links
