ATLANTA, GA — In observance of Columbus Day, Monday, Oct. 9, the Postal Service will adhere to the following schedule:

All Post Offices will be closed. There will be no residential or business deliveries, only delivery of Priority Express Mail.

Stamps are available at most grocery, pharmacy and convenient stores.

For 24/7 access to most Postal products and services, go to www.usps.com, print postage online or find the nearest self-service kiosk.

The Postal Service does not receive tax dollars for operating expenses; it relies entirely on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
