I know libraries aren't really the *thing* nowadays thanks to eBooks and the world wide web, but as…read morefar as libraries go, this is one of the best I've seen. When visiting MS, I'm constantly on the search for places with free WiFi so I can go sit with my MacBook for a few hours. This is one of my favourite places to do just that. They have lots of tables and chairs set up, so there's never a problem finding a cozy place to plop down for a while. This library is fairly new and it's a really gorgeous building, both inside and out. Everything is so well organized and it's kept spotless. Of course you'll find books here (duh, it's a library), but they also have tons of CDs, DVDs, and video games (for the Playstation, XBox, and DS) that you can check out. Thanks to the great people of the Rankin County Library System, they let me use my parents' address to get a library card. This allows me to check things out (I like to listen to the CDs on my laptop sometimes while I'm here and I need a library card to get the CDs) and it also allows me to use one of their many computers and the internet if I happen to not feel like bring my Mac with me. The entire staff are very friendly and helpful. They will go out of their way to help you find what you're looking for. LOVE this library! I so wish we had one like it in Jacksonville!

Great library with friendly, helpful staff. I probably come here too much as one librarian pulls my…read morereserved books out when he sees me coming and greets me by name. I also enjoy using it to study for my actuarial exams. Fast WiFi, although ALL streaming is blocked. This means no viewing online lectures. My one complaint is the noise level sometimes. People seem to forget libraries are quiet zones and I've not noticed any librarians correcting this when it happens.

I also enjoy seeing children working on projects or just hanging out with their Mom and Dad for story time or reading a book with them. The Library does make an effort to have interesting programs for Everyone. Hope you enjoy your visit to the Brandon Public Library! It is an adventure.

Saw they only had 3 stars which I found insane. I have loved going here for years and they have so…read moremuch to do. I recently took my nephew with me too and they had many books for him to choose from and even bird watching. They also still rent out movies and video games. Having the park and trail behind the library is also a huge plus.

This is a nice, quiet place to find something interesting to read or just kick back and relax.read more

They MS Archives Building is one is the top sources of documented history in the state of Mississippi. It provides detailed- traceable accounts of telling the story of the State. I must commend the team of researchers, they make a point to locate and acknowledge that MS history is, in a large part a complicated and spread out history that attributes much of its stories through oral tradition. Yet there is a mecca of informative archives that provide a wealth of information to any local and curious historical person out there. If you are a writer and are looking for verification after in hearing the many stories that circulate about the State of MS, I would start here.
