Fundraiser Update

 It seems like just yesterday we were at the beginning of 2021, yet here we are. January 4th of 2022 already.

Shelving Fundraiser Update

Our fundraiser is well on it's way! We are currently at $1025 of the needed $2000 for the first set of shelves. That is over half way, let's do this! We believe that our community will come together and get this taken care of.

As a reminder, the new shelving will allow us to move the Young Adult Books out of the Children's Room giving room for expansion there, plus because the shelves allow more books than the existing wooden shelves we will have additional room added with that as well. 

We can not wait to get this need met.

If you would like to donate to the library shelving or just to the library, you can stop by the library with cash or check. Town Hall will also accept donations for the library. 

We do have the option of making Memorial Donations in honor or memory of someone. Please contact the library for more information concerning this.

Booksale

Make sure to come by the library for our used book sale. All proceeds of the sale will go to the shelving fund. We will be putting hardback books out soon.

Genealogy and Local History Additions

 We would like to thank Mr. Thomas Forehand Jr. for his generous submission of essays written on the local history of Dickson County. Mr. Forehand also submitted census reports that pertain to our local area.

While these items are in house use only, the community is welcome to come and view the documents.

Census

• 1820 Dickson County Census
• 1840 Dickson County Census

Essays

• Naming of Burns, Tennessee, The
• 1892 Newspaper Wars, The
• Dickson's Early Names: The Sneedville/Smeedville Controversy
• Killing Giants! Charlotte High School's 1962 Baseball Team

Here at the Jennie Woodworth Library we would love to collect more local history for the community perusal. If you have essays, books, or collections that pertain to the history of the area please stop by or contact us to see if we are able to include it in the collection.

We believe here at JWL that we can always learn from the past.
