For the morning coffee drinkers out there, a recent study found there may be one more reason to enjoy that first cup of the day. In a study of over 40,000 people in a national health survey, researchers found that morning coffee drinkers had a lower risk of dying prematurely than non-coffee drinkers. And the biggest beneficiaries might be those who drank coffee only in the morning rather than throughout the day. Of course, these findings are from a single study, so further research is needed on the timing of coffee drinking. At the same time, this new study adds to a large and growing amount of research showing that coffee drinking overall can have many health benefits. That could sound a little surprising. For whatever reason, coffee can still feel like one of those things we enjoy but that may not be good for us. Yet coffee has over 1,000 compounds that could aid health. Among other possible benefits, these compounds could help improve the gut microbiome, ease inflammation, hel

Letter To The Editor: National Library Week, April 6-12, 2025, is a celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities. In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a proclamation declaring March 16 – 22 as National Library Week. In his proclamation, President Eisenhower declared National Library Week as, “A time for the appraisal of community needs for library services and of the means for meeting them, for encouraging the development of a better-read, better-informed citizenry, and for rededication to that fine public service that has always been characteristic of the libraries of America.” Now more than ever, libraries provide a place for communities to learn, work, and play. Yes, we still offer books, but we also offer so much more. Step inside your library to see a hive of information, community, entertainment, and technology. This year’s National Library

April 5 and 6 have witnessed a plethora of significant events throughout history, spanning various realms such as politics, science, arts, and humanitarian efforts. The year 1965 marked a transformative moment in the realm of international diplomacy. On April 5, the United States escalated its military involvement in Vietnam, sending additional troops to support the South Vietnamese government against the communist North. This decision, part of the larger context of the Cold War, would lead to an intense and controversial conflict that shaped American foreign policy and domestic politics for years to come. The Vietnam War sparked protests and debates over military intervention, civil rights, and the moral implications of warfare, leaving an indelible mark on American society. Fast forward to 1976, when the world witnessed another significant event: the launch of the first-ever portable computer, the IBM 5100. This groundbreaking piece of technology was a precursor to the personal
