Join Your Local Friends of the Library Organization During November
Mid-Mississippi Regional Library System (MMRLS) is happy to be introducing “Friends of the Library Sign Up Month” at all its library locations in Attala, Holmes, Leake, Montgomery, and Winston County. During this November event, library guests are encouraged to join their local chapter of the Friends of the Library advocacy group.
What is Friends of the Library and why should you join? Friends of the Library is a national organization of library supporters with local chapters throughout our state. Friends groups are library advocates who come together to support, improve, and promote their local library.
Starting this year, Friends of the Library members will receive a unique library card which provides a special system wide benefit of half-price print/copy/fax services. Friends groups help raise funds for special library programs, advocate for library services, volunteer for the children’s summer reading program, sponsor National Library Week events, as well as performing other voluntary duties/activities. This low fee membership would also be an excellent holiday gift idea for the library enthusiast in your life.
Each Friends group operates independently from their local library but can support their local branch through the various means already mentioned.
“By joining a Friends of the Library group, you can help make a difference in your local community and help expand the reach of the library. Contacting your local library branch is your first step to finding out more information. You may also visit midmisslib.com/friends for further details,” said Lisa Ramage, Branch Services Coordinator.
For more information about all library services, call or visit your local MMRLS branch library or the library’s website at: midmisslib.com. All library services are made possible thanks to the continued financial support of your local elected officials.

Fire Hydrant Maintenance starting October 5, 2020
On October 5, 2020 the City of Louisville Fire Department will begin its annual fire hydrant maintenance. Hydrant maintenance will be for the most part conducted between the hours of 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday although there may be some occasions where personnel will be required to work later in the evening. Please be mindful of our personnel when approaching the fire department vehicles on the side of the road. Residents may notice some temporary discoloration in the water. The discoloration of water is not harmful, and is the result of sediment that is always present in waterlines being “stirred up” during hydrant testing. As part of testing procedures, the Fire Department will flow each hydrant until the water is clear, however smaller water lines that lead to each house or business may still have cloudy water. If you notice discolored water it may be remedied by flowing water from your faucets, and a cycle through your washing machine until it is clear.
Fire hydrant maintenance is important in order to ensure the City has properly working fire hydrants. The hydrants are inspected, flowed to check for adequate water flow, and cleaned around to ensure there is enough clearance for operation of the hydrant. A quality fire hydrant maintenance and inspections program is just one of the many components that the Mississippi State Rating Bureau evaluates when an audit of the city’s fire protection is completed. The City of Louisville currently has a fire rating of 6 with 1 being the highest, or best, and 10 being the lowest, or least desirable. Simply stated conducting these hydrant inspections, and maintenance assists in keeping property insurance low. Also fire hydrant flushing helps to insure that your firefighters are knowledgeable about the general water volumes available for firefighting operations and whether there are any major flow changes since last year’s test. Hydrant maintenance is critical to fire suppression and the protection of life and property.
If you have any questions regarding hydrant maintenance, and inspections feel free to contact The City of Louisville Fire Department at 662-773-9402.
