  1. Is it possible to purchase a header in print? I am particularly interested in the two pertaining to tobacco. Thank you.

  2. Ms. Stephens,
    We’re glad that you like our header images.

    Yes. It’s possible to purchase the images from which we created our headers. We can send you the digital file and you can print the images yourself, or we can make prints for you here at the library.

    My colleagues in Wilson Library’s Research and Instructional Services handle such requests. Please email them at wilsonlibrary.unc.edu

    Best,

  3. You are spreading false news! You will be held responsible if people read this and come to our county to do harm. There is no such law in Mitchell County! Last thing we need is fake stories that Americans cannot be in our County at night! It’s totally false! You should sincerely remove this article from your page! It is defamation to every person living here! We are a loving open armed community! Research and see if we have such a law, you will find it is false!
