THANK YOU!

THANK YOU FROM FRIENDS OF EMRL PRESIDENT BECKY WATKINS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS: 

“One of the highlights of my summer has been serving as a volunteer with Friends of the East Mississippi Regional Library System. With our growing Friends group, we were able to provide items requested by librarians in Bay Springs, Heidelberg, Pachuta and Quitman. If you purchased or donated books from our used book sale, you had a part in helping support our local libraries. Thank You.” ❤️ 

If you are interested in joining our Friends of EMRL group, please call 601-776-3881 for more information.
