The first of our Pemiscot County newspapers have been digitized and are being added to our library's website (cville.lib.mo.us or just Google "Caruthersville Public Library") This project was supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, as administered by the Missouri State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State. An LSTA Digital Imaging grant was applied for by Caruthersville Public Library and supported with letters by several community residents.

The papers currently online are:
The Critic (from 1/1/1915 - 5/7/1915) Hayti, MO newspaper

The Gayoso Democrat (from 11/6/1891-12/25/1891) Gayoso, MO newspaper

The Hayti Herald is digitized from 1908-1922 and is freely available on the Library of Congress’s website, Chronicling America. This paper was digitized as part of a national grant in 2008-2010. A link to early editions are found here: Hayti Herald

Other more recent years of the Hayti Herald are currently being digitized, as well as editions of the Steele Enterprise. These will be online later next year.

The Democrat-Argus from 1892-1966 should be delivered on Tuesday and we will get it on the website as soon as possible.

To easily read parts of these newspapers, look for the small newspaper icon in the upper left and click onto various portions of the newspaper page to read it more easily.

Other more recent years of the Hayti Herald are currently being digitized through a second digitization grant, as well as editions of the Steele Enterprise. These will be online later next year.

Thanks to all who helped with this project and for those who have been waiting in anticipation to read these old newspapers - Enjoy!!!

Friends, we are gearing up for our 2018 Summer Reading program - "Libraries Rock!" It is open to all ages - and we hope you will join in the fun by reading five books and entering your reading log into our giveaway at the end of summer. We will begin with next Tuesday's sign up and an ice cream party in the backyard. In subsequent weeks, we will need our usual supply of snacks for the kiddos and would appreciate your generosity when you find sales on items. (We are again doing three days of programming each week for eight weeks.) Thanks for any help you can give us!

Teens, we are gearing up for our 2018 Summer Reading program - "Libraries Rock!" It is open to all ages - and we hope you will join in the fun by reading five books and entering your reading log into our giveaway at the end of summer. We will begin with next Tuesday's sign up and an ice cream party in the backyard. We are again doing three days of programming each week for eight weeks, with stories and games on Tuesday, Children's movie on Wednesday, and Crafternoons on Thursday. We'd love for you to earn a community service certificate by serving as a mentor and example for the children. Thanks for any help you can give us! (We will have a sign-in log to keep track of the hours that you volunteer so don't miss it.)
