    The Northeast Regional Library serves the four Northeastern Mississippi counties of Alcorn,…read morePrentiss, Tippah, and Tishomingo. They are all different and unique in their own ways. The Alcorn staff are very stern and do not allow loud talking and are very firm when asking you to end your computer session. Whereas, Ripley staff let children run total butt-monkey-stupid-crazy and allow people to talk loudly on their phones and even let music play on their phones aloud without headphones. Established in 1951, the Northeast Regional Library is the second oldest regional library system in Mississippi. It is comprised of a headquarters library here in Corinth and twelve branches. Several larger branches including Corinth, Booneville, Iuka, and Ripley, have separate genealogy and local history collections that are available for in-house use. U.S. Census records on microfilm are available at several branch locations as are journals on genealogical research, passenger lists, and more. The upstairs of the Corinth Library is set aside for genealogy and I believe you still must be 18 years old to go upstairs. Through a grant provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, most branch libraries have one or more computers available for public use, Corinth has a half dozen minimum. All computers access the Internet and contain the Microsoft Office Professional suite of word processing and Power Point programs. Northeast Regional Library offer free wireless Internet access. The service is available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day. After hours the wireless connection is accessible from the libraries' parking lots and elsewhere on library grounds. The service is offered at Corinth, Booneville, Iuka, Ripley, Baldwyn, Belmont, Walnut, Blue Mountain and Burnsville Libraries. Meeting rooms of various sizes are available for use by the public in several branches of the Northeast Regional Library. Fund raising events which are held solely for the support of the library (such as Friends of the Library book sales) may be held in these rooms. Other events not benefiting the Library or charging admission can't be held at the Library. The sizes can vary from having the ability to hold from 50 to 100 people and they all offer kitchens or kitchenettes. Each summer, the Northeast Regional Library sponsors a Summer Library Program to encourage children to continue to read while they are out of school for the summer. 'Friends of the Library' support an individual library by holding book sales, hosting programs, and helping to publicize activities being held at the library. You can find many good books and even some very old books during these sales. I got 4 decades of National Geographic magazines, dating back to the 1960s for free, because they were taking up space the library needed for other purposes. All branches have music CDs, Movie DVDs and some locations have VHS tapes available for check out. Sometimes you can find entire full seasons of TV shows on DVD.

    You can never go wrong with a library. It's a great place to encourage literacy at any age. This…read morelocation has 4 floors, including areas exclusively catered to young children and teens. There is a bargain bookstore and meeting rooms on the first floor, with study rooms, computers, and work areas on each floor. The library also has weekly and monthly meetups, activities, services that are helpful and supportive to the Memphis community.

    I've been to many libraries to study and do work at and I major in IT, so when there is an issue…read morewith certain websites cant be accessed to derail certain individuals it gets annoying. There shouldn't be a reason that I can't access the chime site; a site that has no bad rating. I ride the bus and for some odd reason the mata public site also cannot be accessed Whoever the network admin of this building is has fun debugging other individuals websites and playing with the information in such a way that prevents me from getting regular things done. This is discriminatory and illegal actually on many levels unless one can say that I was doing something illegal online which I wasn't and don't. Public of Memphis, I would be very cautious and think twice before doing anything at the computer lab. I actually come to do schoolwork, however there are many bums, junkies and homeless people that takeover the spot and go on rants and security just lets them yell it up (in a library). This facility has all the resources and access, but no structure whatsoever. Anyone reading this, go to the library and try those two sites. Police them.

    A favorite place to research and relax on a lunch. I have done a bunch of genealogy work here and…read morethe local history section is top notch. A really fine library for young people or for those with many years under their belt.

    I love libraries…read more Sometimes, late at night, I find myself organizing my stuffed animals in accordance to the dewey decimal system. Libraries are so organized. So sterile. So quiet. So full of think-i-ness. I mean knowledge. Remind me to take "think-i-ness" out before I post this. Laugh if you want, but the Florence library is awesome. Nice building. New building. Lots of places to sit in comfortable chairs and read. Big windows. Thought-inspiring quotes everywhere. And the librarians are bitter idiots. But that's true of all librarians. One of my favorite features is the reading room. Walk inside, and you find yourself in Sherlock Holmes' living room. Wood panels everywhere. Greek columns. Newspapers and magazines out your saggy butt. I want to sit and smoke a pipe while I read in there. They also have a entire wing devoted to gynecology. I plan to spend a great deal of time in there. Did I say gynecology? I meant genealogy. Honest mistake. Thanks. spellchecker. Not my least favorite feature is the coffee shop, the disgustingly cleverly named "Coffee-ol-ogy." Coffee, sandwiches, and all sorts of snacks. The 14-year old behind the counter asked where I was from when I asked for a "drip" coffee. "No one around here calls it a drip," she quipped. I then beat her senseless with the cappuccino maker. But don't expect to pay three bucks for a sandwich, a luke warm Coke, and sashay into the library. Nosiree, Mr. Fresh-Ground Paris Pants. No food or beverage in the library. So you have to sit in the lobby and enjoy your meal. Bonus - free wi-fi all around (I suspect they've blocked myspace). Five stars for this library. They're open until 7 most nights, which gives me just enough time to stop by, order a "drip," and Yelp like mad.
