The Sunflower County Library System has released its plan to serve the public over the next two weeks during the Safer-at-Home order. The following is a release from the system.
Considering the current health issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sunflower County Library System continues to support the safety and well-being of our library workers and the communities we serve.
In accordance to CDC guidelines and Governor Tate Reeves’s “Safer at Home” Executive Order, all branches of the Sunflower County Library System will provide library services to support essential activities for citizens.
The library will remain closed to the public until May 11, 2020 in order to prepare facilities to meet current CDC and Mississippi Department of Public Health guidelines.
During this time staff will be addressing patron requests via phone or email during library branch COVID-19 operational hours.
We will provide curbside services to patrons beginning May 4.
Patrons will need to contact their local branches to access this service.
We will further evaluate conditions to determine future reopening to the general public when guidance from public health officials indicates the risk from COVID-19 has significantly subsided.
The Sunflower County Library provides virtual resources on the library’s website at (www.sunflower.lib.ms.us). Such resources include World Book Encyclopedia Online with access to informational articles, videos, activities, and eBooks. The MAGNOLIA database provides access to journal articles, newspaper articles, videos, and eBooks.

Our Web Links pages provide access to informational websites. The library provides access to eBooks through our Hoopla Digital platform.
