Dear Editor: Please allow me to take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge a local business that has been quietly providing Sitkans with a wonderful service for at least two decades.
Old Harbor Books has been delivering books to the Sitka Jail free of charge for as long as I can remember. Obviously, a jail is a secure and restrictive environment designed to keep contraband out. For security and sanitation reasons, books and magazines are highly restricted.
Thankfully for our citizens, Old Harbor books allows people serving time in the Sitka Jail to order new books, and will then deliver the books to the jail securely and discreetly. Old Harbor has been a trusted service provider to the Sitka Jail for many years and we are grateful for their continued service.
