RIVERSIDE-SIKESTON COOPERATION
Did you know that residents of the Riverside Library
district located within the Sikeston R-6 school district
and the residents of Country Acres Estates can use the
Sikeston Public Library for free—no annual fee for a
library card. This is made possible by a service
contract in which Riverside pays Sikeston Public Library
$15,000 a year so that our patrons can use the
Sikeston Public Library without having to purchase a
card there.
EMAIL ADDRESSES—DO WE HAVE YOURS?
If you change your email address, please remember
to let us know. You’ll get fast notifications of books
you’ve put on hold, if you have items overdue that need
to be returned, if you owe any fines, and more.
Our circulation software will automatically email you
courtesy notices which save time, postage, and
manpower.
EXPLORE MISSOURI’S CIVIL WAR HISTORY
Learn about Missouri’s key role in the struggle
between the Union and the Confederacy and the
importance of the Trans-Mississippi Theater. Read first
-hand accounts about the impact of guerrilla warfare,
martial law, forced displacement and economic chaos
on the bitterly divided communities across the state.
The Missouri State Library has been pleased to
provide funding for a number of large-scale regional
collaborations among Missouri’s libraries, archives,
museums and historical societies. These projects have
created a wealth of online collections that describe the
Civil War in detail across all regions of Missouri.
Includes a broad array of newspapers, diaries, letters,
photos, court cases, military records, memoirs, and
books. Click on “Collections” at
http://www.sos.mo.gov/mdh/CivilWar/

WHO CAN GET A
RIVERSIDE REGIONAL LIBRARY CARD?
Anyone (ages 5 and up) who lives or owns property
anywhere in Scott, Perry, or Cape County (this includes
residents inside the city limits of Cape Girardeau,
Jackson, Chafee, and Sikeston), or any Missouri county
adjacent to these three counties can get a RRL card for
free.
WHY LIBRARY CARDS ARE NECESSARY…
The number on your library card identifies you and
only you—your contact information, the items you have
checked out, the items you have on hold, family
members you are responsible for, when your books are
due back, and much more.
Your library card is your security that other people
are not checking out items in your name--items for
which you would be held liable if they are not returned
or if they come back damaged.
A library card is no larger than a credit card or
driver’s license--which no one seems to mind to carry.
It’s such a small thing that can protect you and your
library account. Keep it safe. And notify the library
immediately if it is lost or stolen. We will quickly close
that account and issue you a new card with a new
number.
MISSOURI DEATH CERTIFICATES
Death certificates contain valuable information for
family historians and researchers. The Missouri Death
Certificate Database, produced by the Missouri State
Archives, contains over 2 million death certificates for
the years 1910 to 1961, making that information
available online through a searchable index that links to
a digitized image of the original death certificate.
The index can be searched by first name and last
name, county, and by year and month. Once a name is
selected, a digitized image of the original certificate can
be retrieved. Search at
