The Sunflower County Library System is promoting community literacy through the Magnolia Book Award selection. Children of pre-kindergarten through 12th grade are encouraged to read the 2026 nominated books and vote for their favorite book. Visit any library branch to obtain the list of nominated books, read them, and vote for your favorite at any library branch. Books are available from the library. Be a part of this important statewide event and let your voice be heard. Voting booths will be set up at each library branch from Feb. 2–26 during library operational hours. Operational hours are listed on the library website at www.sunflower.lib.ms.us.
