School starts soon and all of those Sevier County students will be using their home computers to print homework assignments. As those laser and inkjet cartridges become depleted, please drop off the used cartridges at any of the Sevier County Public Library System locations.  The Sevier County Library System serves as a drop-off point for the used cartridges in an effort to help Sevier County go green.

Drop off the used cartridge at the Sevier County Main Library at 321 Court Avenue in downtown Sevierville; the Seymour Branch Library at 137 W. Macon Lane in Seymour; or, the Kodak Branch Library at 319 West Dumplin Valley Road in Kodak.

The cartridges will be recycled and any proceeds from the recycling process will go directly to the SCPLS Library Foundation to help fund the new Sevier County Main Library.

SCPLS LITERARY CLASSIC BOOK CLUB MEETING

Sevier County, TN – Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth will be the featured book for the SCPLS Literary Classics Book Club Meeting on Friday, August 29, 2008. This novel, published in 1905, was Wharton's first literary success.

The novel is set amid fashionable New York society and reveals the insincerity and negative effects of the city's social circle on the moral fiber of Lily Bart. Poor but well born, Lily must secure her future by acquiring a wealthy husband; but her downfall - instigated by a romantic indiscretion - results in gambling debts and social disasters.

The Sevier County Public Library System (SCPLS) Literary Classic Book Club will meet at the Kodak Branch Library, 319 West Dumplin Valley Road, on Friday, August 29, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. to discuss this novel.
