September is National Library Card Sign-Up

card. This month also marks the 11th
Anniversary of 9/11, and the library is honoring this tragic event with a
display of images and memorabilia in the lobby’s showcase.
Friday Night Bluegrass Jam Fever is always on
the second Friday of the month at the Quitman Public Library. The next acoustical jam is Friday, September
