At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.

Library letter exchange program

The Jackson County Public Library in Sylva is starting The Library Letters Exchange. 

For those interested in exchanging letters with a pen-pal from the Poughkeepsie Public Library in Poughkeepsie, New York, sign-ups will run through Jan. 16. This program will rekindle (or just kindle) a love for the handwritten letter and “snail” mail. 

The Library Letters Exchange is free and all participants will receive a welcome kit full of cool stationery and accessories to get started. Register today to find new connections with fellow book lovers.

To register, call the library at 828.586.2016 to register. The Jackson County Public Library is a member of Fontana Regional Library (www.fontanalib.org).
