New Shelving for Society's Library

The society's Gaither Spradling Library has been growing and during the past year, the society simply ran out of room to display research material. This month the society installed new library shelving on the east wall of the research room. This new shelving has enabled the society to publicly display the massive journal collection. The society receives quarterlies from many genealogical societies and this new shelving will enable the society to shelve the collection. Other work has been done in the George Poteet History Center, headquarters of the Itawamba Historical including the installation of new furniture in the Gordon McFerrin Assembly Hall, where monthly meetings are held. All work of the society depends entirely upon membership dues and donations, and the society would like to thank all the supporters of the organization who make our work easier in preserving and promoting the rich history and heritage of Itawamba County.
