With two beloved employees retiring this week, things just won’t seem the same at Ricks Memorial Library.
Maggie Rollins ended her remarkable 45-year tenure at the local library this week.
And Karen Dunaway, who has been at the library for the past six years, began her retirement Tuesday afternoon.
It was a bittersweet moment Monday morning as library employees presented Rollins and Dunaway with kind words and a delicious cake.
“We couldn’t have been here without both of you,” said Sherry Anderson, library director. “And just think when there is another pretty day like this, you can be outside and reading a book.”

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
