In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall fl ow rivers of living water. John 7:37-38 This is my comfort in my affl iction: for thy word hath quickened me.

City of KM Revolutionary 4th event scheduled for July 1 By Loretta Cozart At the conclusion of City of Kings Mountain council meeting on June 8, Mayor Neisler honored the city's Director of Cul- tural Enrichment Christina Martin, for procuring a $46,000 grant from North Carolina to place a library kiosk at Moss Lake. Martin said in an in- terview with the Herald, "Rick Duncan, our won- derful Moss Lake Direc- tor, gave us permission to put this kiosk on the permit office porch. It will hold up to 500 physical li- brary items and dispense them like a vending ma- chine. It will run off Wi-Fi and will also be a hotspot for library e-materials. A library card holder can just scan their card, se- lect their item, and it will dispense to them," she explained. There will also be a book return on site so people can return their borrowed items. Martin hopes this will allow Moss Lake resi- dents the ease of return- ing library materials, even those that may have been checked out at a physical library building, at this lo- cation. The hope is that an arrangement can be made to accept library materials from either Mauney Memorial Library or Cleveland County Li- brary. A library kiosk vending machine like this one is planned for the permit office at Moss Lake to allow residents ease in borrow- ing or returning library materials.
