“For a quiet library voice person, I have a very loud voice on the internet”

Mychal Threets, a former Solano County librarian, is host of the recently rebooted children’s show “Reading Rainbow,” originally made popular in the ’80s by LaVar Burton.

Dubbed "the Internet's librarian"— and now host of the relaunched Reading Rainbow — Mychal Threets invites all to take a look and find themselves at the library! Perfect for little readers who are regular visitors and those who might be stepping into the stacks for the first time. Welcome to the library! It’s a place just for you! There are activities, movies, games, and SO.

I am very happy that the Dumpster Fire that was 2025 is almost over. If you've followed The Bargain Sleuth for any length of time, but especially this year, that I read a lot of non-fiction books. This year, I've made a concerted effort to be part of the solution to many things, and that means reading about it. In a country where our First, Fourth, 13th, 14th, and 19th Amendments are under attack, my reading and writing this year has been decidedly Pro-Democracy, Pro-Environment, Pro-Human Rights, Pro-Education, and Anti-Fascism.
