Eudora Welty Library gets major grant
SUMMARY: The Eudora Welty Library in Jackson, Mississippi, which has been closed for months, will soon be reopened in a new downtown location thanks to a $3.7 million grant announced by the Jackson-Hinds Library System. The funding was included in a spending bill signed by President Joe Biden. The original library building, which had been open for 38 years, will be torn down due to long-term maintenance issues. The investment is seen as a positive step to save libraries in the area, providing essential services like summer reading programs and free computer access to those in need. Residents are hopeful that the money will be used effectively to revitalize the library and provide important resources to the community.

The War Memorial Building in Jackson
SUMMARY: In downtown Jackson, a special art piece commemorates veterans, particularly highlighting a returning World War I soldier. The War Memorial building serves as a tribute to soldiers rather than war itself, featuring the Mississippi Unknown Soldiers Monument alongside sculptures by George Albert Rer. These bar reliefs, modeled after Ray Scott, depict the same soldier in various life stages, from combat to homecoming. Completed just before World War II, the building primarily honors earlier battles, with World War II references limited to the elevator panels. On Veterans Day, the Daily Sip expresses gratitude to veterans for their service.
