Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone. As I say to people, consider yourself embraced. We could all use hugs, but they have to be virtual for now.
Send a card or call someone who needs a human contact. Thanks.

DeKALB – For students who want to buy all kinds of second-hand books with character, and for cheaper prices than retail chains like Barnes & Noble, Classic Books, 115 N. First St., is a viable option.
Owned and operated by DeKalb resident Charles Sigwart, the shop is flooded with literature, with all available wallspace taken up by no-slots-unfilled bookshelves. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the store is only open by appointment, which can be made between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday, according to Classic Books’ Facebook page.
Since the store deals in second-hand goods, the latest popular books might not be on the shelves, Sigwart said. However, the store offers a wide range of genres including politics, history, self-help, media, photography, foreign languages, religion, biographies and several kinds of sciences like computer science, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, astrophysics and biology.
