On March 31, 2020 Hawkins County Mayor Jim Lee declared a State of Emergency and issued a ‘Safer at Home‘ directive to Hawkins County residents urging them to stay home except for ‘essential’ travel.

In response to the ‘Safer at Home’ Directive, Hawkins County Library is closing all book drop locations in addition to library branches. Please keep all library materials at home until the library reopens.
