Every Thursday (when we remember), we share a new 360ยฐ aerial drone view of a different area in Reading. On a computer, use your mouse to look around, zoom in and out, and rotate the image in any direction. On a mobile device or iPad, just pinch and zoom with your fingers. This photo was taken at the Reading Public Library during the ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new outdoor terrace in June 2026.

The following was sent to us by a reader - To the Editor: Every veteran knows the cost of service and the promise that comes with it. If weโ€™re changed in service, our nation will be there for us when we come home. But today that promise is being limited by something most Americans never see: federal budget rules.
