The Happiest Place in Warren County

Published

on

Disney describes its parks as the happiest place on earth – but that comes with a price tag of up to $200 per ticket. Here in Warren County, you can find happiness for free at our world-class, award-winning library.  You will feel the happiness as soon as you walk in.  Bright, clean, and welcoming space.   Kind, helpful, and professional staff.

You might come on a special day for a puzzle tournament, a scary author panel, or a comic book convention.  Yesterday, I stopped by on a regular day and found volunteers weeding the children’s garden in front.  A free sewing class is being held in Studio 330 (machines and instructors provided). A story time for children program. A used bookstore manned by volunteers.  And the smiling faces of all the super staff.

Our library is not just books.  If you haven’t experienced the happiness, I invite you to stop by and find the joy of Samuels Library.  Right now, our library has been defunded by supervisors who do not care about our happiness.  If you want to keep Samuels Library as the happiest place in Warren County, then you need to vote for supervisors who value our world-class, award-winning library — candidates Tony Carter and Hugh Henry.
