Dear Editor,
I just want to take the time to congratulate everyone on the success of the Reader. So very glad it is expanding and that it is succeeding in a world where corporate news seems to rule the day.
It is a rare thing for a community to have a paper such as this that offers up so much support for local community events, issues and this great little paper truly celebrates the best of what Sandpoint has to offer.
Thanks so much for all of your hard work I am humbly grateful for your support.

Patrice,
Thank you so much for your kind letter. It’s letters like this that keep us in good humor and moving forward—especially after that behemoth 28-page issue we put out last week that damn near killed us.
We’re so grateful to the community for their words of encouragement and for their support. We’ll try to keep bringing you compelling content every week.
-Ben Olson, publisher
While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
You can contribute at either Paypal or Patreon.
