ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – Rigolet is a close-knit Labrador community of about 300 people where everyone knows each other. It should be a place where people feel safe, but resident Desiree Wolfrey says she’s constantly warning her three daughters to be on guard.

VOORHEES Lucy Zohn usually knows just what she s looking for when she visits the Camden County Library s Allan Vogelson Branch in Voorhees.
She loves mystery and suspense novels, and the library always has the latest from her favorite authors: James Patterson, Lisa Scottoline, David Baldacci.
So she and Don, her husband of 63 years, were very happy when the library reopened last month after being closed for more than a year initially due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as for a $2 million renovation project. (The library continued offering online resources, curbside pickup and other services during the closure.)
As she browsed the bookshelves Tuesday, Don made his way through the DVDs. The library s more open layout now allows for easier social distancing, but also makes for a brighter, more welcoming space than before.
