Sheriff Warns Against Abuse of 911

September 11, 2015 - The Shelby County Sheriff's Office is experiencing excessive amounts of 911 calls from children who are using cell phones for play. Cell phones that are no longer being used whether they are activated or deactivated – with or without a SIM card, are still able to place emergency calls.

Parents and guardians need to be aware that they are responsible for children who call 911. Abuse of emergency service calls can lead to your arrest.

What’s New at the Library

September 11, 2015 - This is the first week of the library’s new hours. We are hoping that being open from 10 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday will better accommodate our library users’ needs. In the past we were open at 9 a.m. on Saturdays and very few came into the library until 11, an hour before closing. The library would be full of users at noon with us having to announce that we were closing. Hopefully, we will also better accommodate our older children who get to “sleep in” on Saturday mornings.
