A statement from SirsiDynix regarding the library’s mobile app:

SirsiDynix is the owner of your library’s mobile application. However, another vendor controls the access of the app. Unfortunately, they have unexpectedly disabled the app, rendering it inoperable.

As an immediate solution, you can search the catalog via the library’s website, http://starkville.lib.ms.us This allows many of the core search features of the mobile app to be available on your mobile devices. You can use the URL below to access the catalog directly:

https://mlp.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/okt/


We have also been aggressively developing an entirely new, next-generation mobile app for your library. While it is not yet available for general use, we anticipate it will be ready in the next few months. This app will deliver the functionality you enjoyed in the original app, along with many new features.

We regret any inconvenience this has caused you. Please know that your library had absolutely no way of anticipating this situation, and we hope you’ll be understanding as we work through this difficult, interim period.

Bill Davison

Chief Executive Officer

These pictures are of the Oktoc Garden Club Community Quilt of 1978, that won a blue ribbon. Each pattern was hand-drawn by the members of the club and transferred to cloth. There are pictures of things commonly seen in the Oktoc community .

The other quilt, which also appears to have been made with hand-drawn patterns, is of unknown origin and contains quilted images of things commonly found in Mississippi
