Today's Newsletter is Brought to You By

the letters W, M, and L and the number 2020.

Do you recognize that opening? If you are the parent of a Gen X-er, or a member of Gen X yourself, you probably will.

Each episode of Sesame Street was "sponsored" by two letters and a number. Our newsletter is sponsored by three letters for Wiggin Memorial Library (pretty clever, right?) and the only number that doesn't seem to be changing every day: 2020. 

There are plenty of cartoons and memes out there picking on year 2020, and it's pretty understandable why. Still, I don't blame everything on 2020. After all, the virus is called COVID-19 because it became known/recognized in 2019. And, I'm very grateful to have 2020 technology and medical knowledge in our world instead of 1918's. Even if our knowledge hasn't figured everything out yet, our hospitals and communities have better sanitation, treatments, and PPE.

We wouldn't be sending these out if we weren't the WML, and we wouldn't have the technology to do it if it weren't 2020 (as opposed to 1918, or even 1969 when Sesame Street launched).
