News From Cannon Libraries

The library is “looking forward” to 2014 with great anticipation as we host a visit from representatives of the Tennessee State Library and Archives and the Tennessee State Museum on January 24th in the Jennings Community Room of the Adams Memorial Library in Woodbury.  They will record and digitize Civil War memorabilia owned by residents of Cannon and DeKalb counties, some of which will be included in an exhibit titled, “Looking Back:  The Civil War in Tennessee”.  You can bring in original photographs, documents, and other artifacts that day. The visit is scheduled with appointments available between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on that day. The archivists will not actually take possession of the items and you will be able to take them home with you that day along with tips on how to preserve the objects.  If you are interested, you can get an appointment reservation form online at http://tn.gov/tsla/cwtn/events.htm.  If you need more information or help getting the form, please call Library Director, Rita Allen, at 563-5861.There are still lots of amazing bargains that you can score at the Friends of the Library Book Sale.  Come in and scrounge around.  We saw a crafty shopper score a clean copy of Baldacci’s 2013 fiction best seller, “The Hit”, this week for just $1!!!!!  You never know what you might find.  New materials are added almost every day.
