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.

I am new to Somerville, TN. On July 23, I went to the Fayette County Library to donate books…read more These were antique (and some rare) books. Some of them were children's books, such as Raggedy Ann and Andy, which cannot be found today. Some of them were British literature and English Literature. They were books that any collector of such books would appreciate. My first thought was to donate them to Goodwill so that they could be purchased by those who would appreciate them; however, my thought to donate them to the library won out. I had never been to that library before. I went through the front door with the first of two boxes. There were three ladies working at the front desk. Two of them met me with silence and never spoke to me (other than their silence). I went in and set the box down and told them I wanted to donate them. One of the ladies came over to me and told me there was another door to take them to. There was no sign whatsoever that that door was for donations. However, from the front entrance, that door led to a room that only a few feet away. The lady told me to move my car and take them to that other door. I told her my car was right at the front entrance and there was no need to move it. She put up such a fuss that I told her to show me the place to put them and I would take that box to the room. Remember that this was only the first of two boxes. She huffed and puffed about it and finally picked the box up and took it to that room and then opened the entry door to that room so that I could take the second box into that room. Both boxes had only a few books, so they were not heavy. I got the second box in through the donation door (which had no indication that it was to deliver donations). During that entire encounter, the woman did not speak to me. As I was leaving, I introduced myself and told her I was new in town and didn't know many people. She said she had lived here since whatever year and didn't know anyone. By then, I had surmised already that she did not care to know anyone. I wondered why she was working where she was working, what with dealing with people. I told her my son lived here and told her the name of his company and suggested that she may have seen his work vans around town. "I told you," she said sternly, "that I don't know anyone." Since I was there, I really wanted to get a library card and browse around through the books. After my encounter with these very hostile women (especially that one), I decided I had no inclination to ever go back there. I did inquire on behalf of my neighbor who is disabled, but loves to read, about what she had to do to get books from there. The woman said she has to have a TN driver's license. I told her again that the lady is disabled and does not drive and, therefore, has no license. I asked if she could produce something like a utility bill, etc. "No. She has to have a TN driver's license." There are so many disabled and elderly people in Somerville who don't drive and have no license because of that reason. Yet, they love to read, and it is one thing that would make their days and nights - their world - a better place in which to be. I would say that all three of those women need to be dismissed from their positions at Fayette County Library and replaced with others who love books and enjoy getting to know people (especially other readers). By the way, that hateful woman never even thanked me for my donation. From now on, and as long as those hateful, hostile women are in their positions, Goodwill is where I will do all of my book business.

Their children's section is especially really nice with lots of fun activities/story times, a huge selection of books, a reading house and a play area.
