MS Library Spotlight: Kemper Newton

DeKalb Public Library
Earlier this week, Kemper Newton Regional Library System received a visit from some folks who were definitely in the holiday spirit.
KNRLS Director Meredith Wickham
Meredith Wickham is the new director of the five branch system in eastern Mississippi. She says that each year, Liberty Fuels, a local coal company, donates money to use "for the betterment" of the Kemper County libraries. The company believes in "the importance of reading" and think that it is a key "building block of education."
MLC Director Susan Cassagne
In the past, the libraries have used the generous influx of cash to buy new books, but this year they're considering new carpeting or even tablets with learning apps.

We can't wait to see what they decide to do with their lovely donation from their community partner. Thanks for letting the Mississippi Library Commission be a part of this exciting day!
