Calhoun County Courts and Offices will be closed on Monday, Jan. 16 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr Day.

MLK Jr. Day is often recognized as an opportunity to contribute to your community in a meaningful way. There are a number of ways you can engage in your community locally.

The AmeriCorps website, mlkday.gov, provides an official list of resources for how to honor this day of service. Another great resource is StoryCorps's MLK Jr. Day website, which provides stories about MLK Jr.'s legacy and black American leaders.
