Dashing Through the...Snow?

Hello Teens!

The holidays are here! Just to remind everyone, we will be closed for the days of December 24th and 25th, while closing at 3:00pm on the 23rd and the 31st. We will also be closed January 1st of the new year. Have fun and be safe, no matter what or how you celebrate!

Speaking of safety, the time is growing near for several of you to experience that exciting, yet tedious milestone of driver's testing. Have no fear; the library is here! Through our website, you have access not only to a FREE copy of the MS Driver's Handbook, but also several practice tests and study aids! For those of you who have already passed the test, we also have some other vehicular resources you might need, including Auto Repair Source and VIN Decoder. Just go to https://cmrls.lib.ms.us/, then find the Digital Library tab, then click Virtual Reference Collection. All three links are near the center of the page. Don't hesitate to ask a librarian for help if you need it!

Happy holidays and good luck to you all!

See you soon!

We now have a display for the AWESOME resource of Talking Books! This service is available through the Mississippi Library Commission and is for those who have visual impairments or reading disabilities. More information is available either through the Mississippi Library Commission's website (https://mlc.lib.ms.us/) or from this wonderful display.

Also, remember to get your vote in for our Hat's Off To Winter contest. If you don't vote, you don't get to see me in the ridiculous hat of your choice in January. So vote now!
