Philpot and Blue (People in the News)

On June 30, 2009, two Dixie Regional Library System Branch Managers will finish their many years of service:

Philpot
Gene Philpot for 28 1/2 years at the Houston Carnegie Library (Chickasaw County)

Blue
Jo Anne Blue for 33 years at the Edmondson Memorial Library in Vardaman (Calhoun County)

Although we will miss them, we wish them well as they adapt to their new ‘free’ lifestyle, said director Judy McNeece. Friends, coworkers, library patrons, and the general public will celebrate the two retirements at a reception held on May 19 at the Houston Carnegie Library. A proper ending to Mrs. Philpot’s library career will be the Centennial Celebration of the Houston Carnegie Library on July 4th. Join us as we recognize the first Carnegie Library in Mississippi.
