Want to help out Mr Stubby?! The Rienzi library has lost 4 hours a week from our schedule. While 4 hours doesn’t seem like much, it will affect many patrons and how we host programs, receive supplies, and more!

Please use your voice to help us out!
Contact Alcorn County Third District and let them know how much the library means to you! If you have a story to share or just want to say how much the library means to you, raise your voice, make the call, or send an email!

We appreciate all of your support and hope we can continue making Rienzi the best place to be!

Rienzi Public Library will now be operating under new hours beginning Thursday, October 1st. Our new hours going forward will be:

Tuesday 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Thursday & Saturday 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

We are sorry for any inconveniences this new schedule may cause, but we look forward to continuing to provide friendly service and wonderful programs. Our little library has the pleasure of providing vital services to the community, help with homeschooling needs, and arranging summer reading programs that enrich growing minds.

Unfortunate budget cuts to the library system will impact many of the branches within NERLS. Please check your local branch to see if any changes will affect operating hours.

Thank you for your support. Please share this post to spread the new hours. Stop by and see us and the wonderful books, programs, crafts, and care we provide. ❤️‍🩹📚
