I’ve always heard that Switzerland is a neutral country. I’ve never fully understood what that means other than they don’t partici-pate in wars; they don’t pick a side.
Much like Switzerland, I would like to take a moment to reinforce the neutrality of the library. It seems to me that there are little micro wars being fought within our society. A war of ideas where it seems like the perspective of the combatants is: if you don’t think the way I do, believe in the same ideas I have, and act a certain way that supports my ideals, then you are against me and everything I stand for.
Examples could include: Democrat vs Republican, the second amendment vs gun control, abortion vs pro-life, di�erences in religion, di�erence in sexual preferences, di�erences in national-ity, di�erences, di�erences, di�erences… Why do we divide ourselves with our di�erences? If only there was a safe place where people can go where, despite their di�erences, there is something for everyone. Well, welcome to the library!
The Washington County Library System welcomes all patrons without discrimination. Our mission is to provide people with information and the space to promote ideas, inspire lifelong learn-ing, and strengthen communities. We maintain a free, open, and welcoming environment where patrons can explore a wide range of topics. When acting as private citizens, our employees are free to engage in the same types of public discourse as anyone else.
While on the clock, we do not advocate speci�c positions. Doing so would contradict our goal of providing a place of public resources where all feel welcome. Our library serves as an environ-ment that cultivates learning for all cultures, creeds, and backgrounds by being an educational haven for patrons to read
freely about any topic they choose.
We welcome all to the library, and we hope you feel welcome and enjoy all we have to o�er as we maintain a position of neutrality on the battle-�eld of controversial ideas.
One of the most successful l ibrary programs locally and nationally is the Collaborative Summer Reading Program (CSLP). CSLP is a grass roots consortium of states work-ing together to provide high-quality summer reading program materials for children at the lowest cost possible for their public l ibraries.
Programs centered on this year ’s theme, “Libraries Rock”, focused on music, geology, and all things rockin’. Why is Summer Reading important? Studies show that public l ibrary summer reading programs enhance student achievement. This year, the Washington County Library System had over 5,500 summer reading participants, with an increase in registration for the teen and adults.
Children, ‘tweens, teens, and adults throughout the County participated in a wide variety of programs. These special events ranged in scope from craft days and magic shows to exciting music presentations. Each of these events reinforced the mission of the Summer Reading Program, to help retain and improve reading skills with engaging and educational programming.
The programs infused the children with excitement, sparked their imaginations, and created a purposeful way to help families focus on the importance of l iteracy.
The Library System would like to thank the volunteers, presenters, and sponsors that participated in creating one of the most fun and exciting Summer Reading Programs to date!

Library Employee Spotlight
ewey Lewis & The Movie NewsD
I am pleased to shine the Employee spotlight for July on Sean Peabody. Sean started at the Hurricane Branch as a Hurri-cane High School intern in January 2017. Following high school graduation, Sean became a sub, and was hired as a part-time clerk in October 2017. In addition to providing quality customer service as one of our tallest clerks (if not our tallest employee), Sean enjoys assisting patrons in the computer lab and with their devices, creating displays, evaluating the children’s DVD collection, and so much more. Sean serves as the branch expert on history, especially the years 1650 – 1850 (when muskets were popular). In his free time, Sean likes to play video games (like World of Warships), watch war movies (Hacksaw Ridge, Zulu, and Master and Commander), and work on a YouTube channel he is creating. He hopes to one day revisit Ireland, teach history, and possibly move to the east coast for its historical value (born at Fort Stewart in historic Savannah, Georgia)! Sean’s inspiration in life is his late grandfather, Sergeant First Class Everett Peabody, who still in�uences everything he does. Please congratulate him when you get the chance.

Yes, the new school year is almost upon us. And while the children in your life may be mourning the impending end of summer, you may be...less mournful. In fact, you may be gleefully wondering what to do with the many, many hours you will now have available while the kids are at school. May we humbly suggest these recently added DVDs?

One of the biggest transitions in life can be going back to school. Whether it is adjusting to preschool or trying to navigate the halls of a new high school, it can be challenging to students of all ages to begin a new school year. One of the best tools for returning students is a library card! Whether you are a parent prepping for your child, or a college student getting ready for class, a library card gives you access to a world of free resources.
