I love going to al the local libraries here in Mobile, AL. My favorite is the Moore Branch Library…read morewhere I have made friends and several acquaintances there. My major complaint is that the circulation department at West Regional is extremely slow. In particular the library purchases movies for rental. The circulation/preparation department then sits on them for six to eight weeks after release date before making them available to rent. Now on average new release movies cost from $15.00 to $35.00 each. In most cases they will purchase from 12-20 copies of the movie. At the rental rate of 75 cents for a one week rental or the same amount for a three week rental of T.V. shows by the time they are available to rent the library never recoups the initial investment for each title. This is my major beef. The library uses taxpayer funds to make these purchases knowing full well they are going to lose money on each title. It used to not be this way. What can be done? Probably nothing. Who can fight governmental organizations and win!!!

It's worth the hike for us because we are regular library users, being home schoolers. I've found this library to be the best of those I've visited in the county, and I'm something of a library connoisseur, though I admit I haven't visited them all yet. Btw as for the other reviews: Just because someone liked "the cute little red haired librarian" is not a reason to give a review. IMHO.

The loss of the 3 stars are due to the fact that I came to get a library card and left empty handed. Why you say??? First and foremost because when I called some woman was breathing into the phone like a weird stalker. "Breath breath... Can I help you?" Me: "Uhm.. yes ma'am? Uhm... I am trying to see how I would go about getting a library card since I do not live within the Forrest County limits? "Breath breaaaaaath Breath, you could just, Breath Breath pay 50 dollars and have access. Breath." Me: "Oh. Ok. What all perks does that come with?" "Breath, Hoopla, breath." Me: "So no to Libby, Overdrive, and Freegal?" "What's, Breath, that?" Me: "omg... If you had it you would know." "Breath, breath, let me transfer you to circulation." Me: "Ok." Then they transferred me and a normal person answered with no excessive breathing. And said the same thing. So I drove 40 miles to get to the building. Because they have a 50 dollar fee for non residents. Ok... no problem. Boom! Everyone takes Visa or even Mastercard. I know most places turn up their nose at American Express the same way we look down our nose at people who don't accept it. But oh no.... not here. They are cash or check only! I was flabbergasted!!! What kind of road side, mom and pop establishment had I walked in to? I had to ask??? Are "yall" stuck in the stone ages? Who brings cash or a check to the library??? Especially on this side of town. Smh... I guess I'm going to go back to audible and ordering my books offline. It would save one heck of a headache! I would NOT recommend unless you live in Forrest county and their service is free. Even with that... I still may have to look elsewhere seeing that they could not even guarantee what selections they had unless I purchased the library card. Like a home "site unseen". Not sure how many of those ever surpassed expectations. But I am going to have to do a HARD PASS on this library. Thanks, but no thanks! I do NOT recommend!

Nothing quite like the smell of old books. This library is quite grand and was a welcome surprise…read more I did not need to do research or to check out a book. I needed a quiet and cool Place to hang out before my flight home and for about 3 hours. This library was so perfect for my needs. And it was much larger than I expected. There were large tables with several chairs and lots of space and there were small individual tables. I was able to catch up on some work!! Air conditioning in the Deep South and Work! Win win!! Oh! One other mention, their internet is super fast. Another plus for my needs. If you're looking for a place for study or work, give this library a try! I'll be back next time I'm in Hattiesburg.
